This unique memoir traces the life of the mind. Threepenny Review editor Wendy Lesser considers her choices in pursuing the vocation of a self-described 18th-century "man of letters." Wise and elegant, The Amateur: An Independent Life of Letters describes the education, experiences and unquenchable passion for art and literature that have molded and intensified Lesser`s understanding of the world. A shrewd cultural observer, the author reveals how she found a way to live independently as a writer, editor and critic, free to follow her learned, adventurous spirit wherever it carries her.
