In her admired works of fiction, Ann Hood explores the
transformative power of literature. Now, with warmth and honesty,
Hood reveals the personal story behind these works of fiction.
Growing up in a household that didn't foster the love of
literature, Hood channelled her imagination and curiosity by
devouring The Bell Jar, Marjorie Morningstar, The Harrad Experiment
and other works. These titles introduced her to topics that could
not be discussed at home: desire, fear, sexuality and madness.
Later, Johnny Got His Gun and The Grapes of Wrath influenced her
political thinking and Dr. Zhivago and Les Miserables stoked her
ambition to travel the world. With characteristic insight and
charm, Hood showcases the ways in which books gave her life and can
transform-even save-our own.
