<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A surprisingly maximalist portrait of a life." --<em>New York Times Book Review</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The 52 micro-memoirs in genre-defying <em>Heating & Cooling</em> 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[Fennelly] has an eye for the absurd, for those telling, little moments that make up a life and build memories. Some are humorous, some are moving. Others are heartbreaking.-- "Florida Weekly"<br><br>A rich, varied, and refreshingly unpredictable portrait of a woman in her prime.... Readers, you are in for a hootenanny of a wild ride.

This deceptively slim, convention-defying collection delivers unerringly generous rewards.-- "Booklist"<br><br>Consistently entertaining...always poised, eloquent, and full of moments of tenderness.-- "Electric Literature"<br><br>Fennelly packs a lot into each short piece, with some lighter in subject matter and others with a sudden punch-in-the-gut feel, weighted with existential exploration. Potent despite their brevity.-- "Library Journal (starred review)"<br><br>Imagine the hundred things you enjoy doing most in the world. Reading Beth Ann Fennelly's <em>Heating & Cooling</em> is more fun than 95 of them.--Richard Russo<br><br>Part of the fun of reading <em>Heating & Cooling</em> is watching Fennelly play with language, making every word count, all while digging into the heart of things.... This tiny book packs many mighty punches as Fennelly takes on Catholicism, cancer, marriage, motherhood, and mortality.-- "Clarion Ledger"<br><br>Varying in length from a single sentence to several pages, the essays in [<em>Heating & Cooling</em>] are told with wry self-awareness and compassion.-- "Poets & Writers"<br><br>Whether you call these pieces poetry or memoir, they showcase Fennelly's signature freshness and candor.... This collection will invite you into the delicate balance between the challenging, sometimes squalid, human condition and the beauty and sadness of the transcendent.-- "The Rumpus"<br><br>Wise, irreverent, funny....Everyone should read this book.-- "Atlanta Journal-Constitution"<br>
