Description
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 non-fiction into one heartfelt, celebratory book. Ranging from childhood recollections to quirky cultural observations, these micro-memoirs build on one another to arrive at a portrait of Beth Ann Fennelly as a wife, mother, writer and deeply original observer of life's challenges and joys.
Some pieces are wistful, some wry and many reveal the humour buried in our everyday interactions. Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs shapes a life from unexpectedly illuminating moments and awakens us to these moments as they appear in the margins of our lives.

Reviews / Votes
"Heating and Cooling contains essays that are sometimes as short as 10 words... but add up to a surprisingly maximalist portrait of a life." -- The New York Times Book Review "The micro-memoirs showcase a range of emotions that belies their brevity-taken from another standpoint, their brevity is what gives them power." -- The Wall Street JournalMore details
