Bøker av Molly Hardy

Mix the dry humor of David Sedaris with a splash of Joan Didion's disillusioned angst and the honest hopelessness of Charles Bukowski, and this story will make you laugh and cry out loud."So, how does a creative person survive, much less succeed, working a routine job? And I don't mean a career; I'm talking about the day-in-day-out, mundane jobs that suck the lifeblood out of people."This book is an often-familiar story about a creative person striving to make ends meet while pursuing her passion for writing and theatre. As told through the eyes of a struggling playwright in an often hilarious and dramatic style, Hardy views her years of strife as fodder for a book about failure yet finding a life purpose in pursuing a dream and discovering true confidence and self-respect. An authentic glimpse into how one artist managed to earn a living while chasing her dream, even at the cost of financial security, feelings of failure, and her self-confidence. Hardy's insight into constantly being fired, refusing to be a victim, and continuing her journey is honest, insightful, and refreshing. Her past employers include movie studio executives, well-known Hollywood celebrities, and even a cult. It's an improbable story written as only a true drama queen could, with deep insight and perception, often conveying her gallows humor and abiding flair for tragedy.
