Table of ContentsReviewsA powerful revelation of spiritual truth. -- Boston Globe Katharine Butler Hathaway...was the kind of heroine whose deeds are rarely chronicled...[She took] a life which fate had cast in the mold of a frightful tragedy and redesign[ed] it into a quiet, modest work of art. -- New Yorker This remarkably un-self-pitying book remains poignant and truthful. Hathaway's descriptions of the writing process are beautiful and on the mark. [She] treats the actual events in her life as practically irrelevant: the story she emphasizes is her spiritual and creative struggle to claim 'selfish' time to write, her intense loneliness, her startlingly frank observations about her sexuality, and her rebellion against the belief that an imperfect person does not experience desire. -- Publishers Weekly You must not miss it...[The Little Locksmith] is the kind of book that cannot come into being without great living and great suffering and a rare spirit behind it. -- New York Times Author InformationKatherine Butler Hathaway was born in 1890 in Massachusetts, and was afflicted with tuberculosis of the spine from an early age. She spent her childhood confined to her bedroom, and was left both stunted and hunchbacked. However, her imagination was never confined, and later in her life she purchased her own sanctuary where she could live alone and become the autonomous artist she had always dreamed of. Julia Atwood is an actor and audiobook narrator who earned her bachelor's degree in classics and psychology from Wheaton College. She went on to attend the Moscow Art Theater's Stanislavsky Summer School and graduated from Brown University with her master's degree in acting. She is currently based in New York City. Alix Kates Shulman is the award-winning author of over a dozen books of fiction, memoir, biography, essays, and books for children.
