About This Book
"In Falling Through Space the spark flashes again in fifty-eight short essays drawn from successful broadcasts. To update and continue the dialogue she has always maintained with her fans, Gilchrist has added fifteen new pieces.".
"Altogether they explore the Mississippi plantation life of her childhood; the books, teachers, and artists who influenced her development; and her reflections on writing and life in general. Coupled with forty-two pictures from Gilchrist's youth and adulthood, these slices of life create a running autobiography.".
"Required reading for any fan, this book is Ellen Gilchrist at her funniest and best. For her readers it confirms her spontaneity and her talent for finding life at its zaniest and brightest. Gilchrist is a beloved and distinctive southern voice. Her life and memories are every bit as entertaining as the wild and poignant short stories for which she is famous."--BOOK JACKET.
