Description

A TIMES LITERARY NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022A TIME MAGAZINE MUST-READ BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022'I was so captivated by this book, so utterly drawn in and overwhelmed by the emotional force of it, that it stayed in my bloodstream, it felt, long after I'd finished it.' Nigella Lawson'Sharp and engrossing' Roxane GayAs the bookish daughter of a travelling salesman, Jami Attenberg was drawn to the road.

Her wanderlust led her to drive solo across America, and eventually on travels around the globe, embracing - for better and worse - all the messy life she encountered along the way.

As she travelled she was crafting, grafting and honing her work, piecing together a living and career, and wrestling with a deep longing for independence while also searching for community, and eventually, a place she might want to stay in for good. This remarkable memoir reveals the defining moments that pushed her to create a life, and voice, she could claim for herself.

Exploring themes of friendship, independence, class and drive, I Came All This Way to Meet You is an inspiring and singular story of living the creative life, and finding one's way home.
