Publisher Description
“A surprisingly maximalist portrait of a life.” —New York Times Book Review
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. Alternatingly wistful and wry, ranging from childhood recollections to quirky cultural observations, these micro-memoirs build on one another to shape a life from unexpectedly illuminating moments.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Inside Beth Ann Fennelly’s Heating & Cooling are 52 “micro-memoirs”—essentially a collection of short, sometimes very, very short, episodes from her life. Taken together, they paint a magnificent portrait of a woman whose gripes and fondest memories are as relatable as her voice is brilliantly distinct. Seriously, this funny, one-of-a-kind book made us fall in love with its author. Take this story, called “Why I’m Switching Salons”: “‘We can put on a topcoat with glitter,’ said the manicurist. ‘We all know how you crave glitter.’”
