Ann Patchett and Laura Dern discuss These Precious Days

[@fathimaashab9265]

I just finished These Precious Days and cried so hard. So glad I found this video ❤️

Oh, and a huge thank you to Ann Patchett for introducing me to 'The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty' when Ann chose that as her desert island luxury on BBC Radio 4's series, Desert Island Discs.

This was both insightful and delightful, and it made my day. Thank you!

"These Precious Days' really is every bit as good as Laura Dern says. I, too, will be buying multiple copies from my local bookshop. 🙂

Hi. This comment is half way through this talk, but I had to immediately comment when Ann said she might want to write mostly nonfiction essays. Noooo, Ann! Can you hear me screaming in Bellevue, TN? I adore your fiction so much. I wait, sometimes impatiently, for each book you write and the worlds you create with your big brain inside your tiny body. I own every book you've written. I realize writing is difficult and requires you to give up so much of your time and energy to the art. But you provide an escape I truly need. And other times you make me feel connected to people in ways I never realized. I hope you're writing novels well into your eighties and I'm there to buy them at Parnassus. Write fiction, Ann. Please 🙂

In addition to your very precioys-to-your-readers non-fiction! 💕

Ann Patchett has a very pretty smile.
