Click Image to Enlarge
Most people know Elizabeth Gilbert from the book Eat Pray Love, but the writer had already established an impressive track record before that phenomenally successful memoir. She began as a journalist, writing for publications like GQ, Spin and the New York Times Magazine. Her first book, the 1997 short story collection Pilgrims, was a PEN/Hemingway award finalist. She followed with a first novel, Stern Men in 2000 and a nonfiction work, The Last American Man, in 2002. Gilbert is back now with a sequel to Eat Pray Love that explores the theme of matrimony. With Valentine?s Day around the corner, KMUW book critic Sarah Bagby looks at what Gilbert has to offer.
