A review by jwinchell
Dusk, Night, Dawn: On Revival and Courage by Anne Lamott

3.0

I was compelled to put this on hold when I heard that it came out but I don’t really know why. The only other book of Lamott’s that I’ve read is Operating Instructions, which I read when Max was 3 months old. I found this book to be similarly self-involved, a sort of armchair spirituality of the Christian, Northern California brand that didn’t really reach me. I can see how she’d be a good friend and a good Sunday school teacher, but I found her frequent references to her sobriety and her overweight mother to fall short—for me. Many people love Lamott, which is maybe why I felt the need to get my hands on this book. Dunno.
