Η Ελίζαμπεθ Γκίλμπερτ στοχάζεται τις ανέφικτες προσδοκίες που έχουμε για τους καλλιτέχνες και τις ευφυΐες -- και εξομολογείται τη ριζοσπαστική της ιδέα ότι, αντί να θεωρούμε κάποια σπάνια πρόσωπα ευφυΐες, όλοι διαθέτουμε την ευφυΐα μας, ο καθένας το δικό του τζίνι. Είναι μια διασκεδαστική, προσωπική και εκπληκτικά συγκινητική ομιλία.
Elizabeth Gilbert
The author of 'Eat, Pray, Love,' Elizabeth Gilbert has thought long and hard about some large topics. Her latest fascination: genius, and how we ruin it.
Why you should listen
Elizabeth Gilbert faced down a premidlife crisis by doing what we all secretly dream of – running off for a year. Her travels through Italy, India and Indonesia resulted in the megabestselling and deeply beloved memoir Eat, Pray, Love, about her process of finding herself by leaving home.
She's a longtime magazine writer – covering music and politics for Spin and GQ – as well as a novelist and short-story writer. Her books include the story collection Pilgrims, the novel Stern Men (about lobster fishermen in Maine) and a biography of the woodsman Eustace Conway, called The Last American Man. Her work has been the basis for one movie so far (Coyote Ugly, based on her own memoir, in this magazine article, of working at the famously raunchy bar), and Eat, Pray, Love is on the same track, with the part of Gilbert played by Julia Roberts. Not bad for a year off.
Gilbert also owns and runs the import shop Two Buttons in Frenchtown, New Jersey.
What others say
Gilbert is irreverent, hilarious, zestful, courageous, intelligent, and in masterful command of her sparkling prose. Booklist
