Description

The 52 micro-memoirs in genre-defying Heating & Cooling offer bright glimpses into a richly lived life, combining the compression of poetry with the truth-telling of nonfiction into one heartfelt, celebratory book. Ranging from childhood recollections to quirky cultural observations, these micro-memoirs build on one another to arrive at a portrait of Beth Ann Fennelly as a wife, mother, writer, and deeply original observer of life’s challenges and joys. Some pieces are wistful, some wry, and many reveal the humor buried in our everyday interactions. Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs shapes a life from unexpectedly illuminating moments, and awakens us to these moments as they appear in the margins of our lives.

Beth Ann Fennelly is a favorite author of mine, and it was nice to see inside her
thoughts and the short length of the stories made this a good read for on-the-go.

Officially my quickest read of the year! The emotion of this one sneaks up on you while you're marvelling at the clear, deceptively simple writing.

I've been reading Fennelly's micro-memoirs in Oxford American, so I was quite eager to read her collection. The collection is so engaging I read it in a one sitting, plus the entries are quite short. Fennelly's talent at writing poetry shines in these brief memoirs.
