Anne Lamott, sometimes characterized as an "alternative Christian writer," brought her particular brand of faith, hope, humor and unrelenting honesty to a rapt Whitworth audience this spring. Perhaps best known for Traveling Mercies, a collection of her autobiographical essays on faith, Lamott is also the author of six novels and four other volumes of nonfiction. She has been honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship, and has taught at the University of California at Davis as well as at writing conferences across the country. Lamott's online diary, Word by Word, on salon.com, was named The Best of the Web by Time Magazine. Her latest essay collection, Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith, was released in March.
