Publisher Description: <b>One of the <i>New York Times' </i>20 Books to Read in 2020 <p/> "A tonic . . . Splendid . . . A respite . . . A summer cocktail of a book."</b>--<b><i>Washington Post</i></b> <p/><b>"Unforgettable . . . Behind her brilliantly witty and uplifting message is a remarkable vulnerability and candor that reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles--and that we can, against all odds, get through them."</b>--<b>Lori Gottlieb, <i>New York Times </i>best-selling author of <i>Maybe You Should Talk to Someone</i></b> <p/><b>Part memoir and part joyful romp through the fields of imagination, the story behind a beloved pseudonymous Twitter account reveals how a writer deep in grief rebuilt a life worth living.</b> <p/><i>Becoming Duchess Goldblatt</i> is two stories: that of the reclusive real-life writer who created a fictional character out of loneliness and thin air, and that of the magical Duchess Goldblatt herself, a bright light in the darkness of social media. Fans around the world are drawn to Her Grace's voice, her wit, her life-affirming love for all humanity, and the fun and friendship of the community that's sprung up around her. <p/> @DuchessGoldblat (81 year-old literary icon, author of <i>An Axe to Grind</i>) brought people together in her name: in bookstores, museums, concerts, and coffee shops, and along the way, brought real friends home--foremost among them, Lyle Lovett. <p/><i>"The only way to be reliably sure that the hero gets the girl at the end of the story is to be both the hero and the girl yourself." -- Duchess Goldblatt</i>
