a book burning bohemian? we thought we knew the beloved annalisa derr but sadly, we didn’t.
part one of my gabfest with her amazingness here. :)
"i was breaking up my thought patterns...how i envisioned life, how i thought life was supposed to be, what i wanted, everything.
breaking up everything i believed to be true about myself and the world so i could start thinking new thoughts, start creating something new for myself."
i have it on good account that annalisa derr's heartfelt rendering of her true life experience had one woman, upon listening to annalisa's account, exclaim to herself, i want to do that. i want to drop everything, go to india and italy, and start anew! and it wasn't elizabeth gilbert, thank god...
books referenced by annalisa in part one of our conversation:
1. Christ Stopped at Eboli, by Carlo Levi
2. Stover, Laren (2004). Bohemian Manifesto: a Field Guide to Living on the Edge.
