I'm living in two different dimensions: this life I'm living now...and this completely other world I'm inhabiting that no one else knows about." --Jennifer Egan <p/>"Every story is a seed inside of me that starts to grow and grow, like a tumor, and I have to deal with it sooner or later." --Isabel Allende <p/>"In the beginning, it was that sense of losing time. Now...I have the sense that I can biff the world a bit. I can exert a force." --Michael Lewis<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Meredith Maran</b>, a passionate reader and writer of memoirs, is the author of thirteen nonfiction books and the acclaimed novel <i>A Theory Of Small Earthquakes</i>.
