My Life's Sentences, by Jhumpa Lahiri
As an editor, I often witness the struggle authors go through to get to the stage where they're ready (well, sort of) to pass on their writing for me to edit. And though I'm an editor, I know well that voice in my head that constantly says, "You could do better." Ms. Lahiri, author of "Unaccustomed Earth," "The Namesake," and "Interpreter of Maladies," speaks of that process lyrically.
