Beloved author Anne Lamott<\/a> is known for addressing complex subjects like addiction, motherhood, and faith with humor and uncompromising honesty. Her wise perspective has\u00a0turned her books like Operating<\/i> Instructions<\/i><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Bird by Bird<\/i>\u00a0<\/a>into well-worn handbooks for millions of readers who revel in her joyously messy take on life. <\/span><\/p>\n

As the New York Times<\/em> described Lamott, she is, \u201ca writer who has perfected the art of saying the unsayable.\u201d\u00a0She doesn\u2019t try to sugarcoat the sadness, frustration and disappointment, but tells her stories with honesty, compassion and a pureness of voice.<\/span><\/p>\n

UCSB Arts & Lectures<\/a> presents an evening with Anne Lamott<\/a> on Tuesday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m. at The Granada Theatre<\/a>, 1214 State St., Santa Barbara.<\/span><\/p>\n

An inductee of the California Hall of Fame, a Guggenheim Fellow and the subject of a documentary by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Freida Mock, Lamott ventures to explore where to find meaning in life.\u00a0Her latest book\u00a0Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy<\/i><\/a>, <\/span>will be available (with others) for purchase and signing.<\/span><\/p>\n
