Robin Black's path through loss and survival delivered her to the writer's life. Agoraphobia, the challenges of parenting a child with special needs, and the legacy of a formidable father all shaped that journey. In these deeply personal and instructive essays, the author of the internationally acclaimed 'If I loved you, I would tell you this 'and 'Life Drawing 'explores the making of art through the experiences of building a life. Engaging, challenging, and moving, 'Crash Course 'is full of insight into how to writeand why. From 'Autumn, 1972, A Moment at Which I Became a Writer': 'I sense, even now, the reverberations of a kind of shattering of my foundation and a quick rebuild, a change at a molecular level of who I understood myself to be. No longer someone who could look at another person without wondering what their life was like, but someone with a new curiosity about what people's stories might actually be. 'Robin Black is the author of the story collection, 'If I loved you, I would tell you this 'and the novel 'Life Drawing, ' both critically acclaimed, and both published in multiple languages. She has developed a loyal, enthusiastic following for her essays on life and writing, online and in such publications as the 'New York Times, ' the 'Chicago Tribune, ' and 'O Magazine. ' She lives with her husband in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the house is always open for their three grown children. '
