In this short captivating memoir, Kherdian takes us on his long journey to become a writer: a journey of self-discovery and deliverance to a life he could not believe he would ever achieve.

This little book, a writer''s testimony, also becomes a reader''s story, as we move through and beyond Kherdian to find where each of us stands, for none of us can avoid the journey of our lives, and why we turn to artists, whose visions often provide a lens by which we can see ourselves.
