WHERE: “Home: American Writers Remember Rooms of Their Own” by Sharon Sloan Fiffer


Almost 15 years after it was first published, this collection of essays still captures my heart. It’s one of those rare books that sit comfortably at the intersection of writing and home design. Contributors range from Lynda Barry to Gish Jen to Jane Smiley. The Los Angeles Times Book Review said it best: “These pages are filled with the kind of details that etch a childhood place into the deep recesses of memory, that distinguish the sensual life of one family from another.”
