“In terms of people that I know, my grandmother and my mother are huge influences on my writing life because they are both massively supportive and always have been of my career.” PeopleKnowsWritingHas BeensMotherTermCareersInfluenceHugeGrandmotherMy GrandmotherSupportiveWriting Life Author:Tea Obreht
“Everything necessary to understand my grandfather lies between two stories: the story of the tiger’s wife, and the story of the deathless man. These stories run like secret rivers through all the other stories of his life – of my grandfather’s days in the army; his great love for my grandmother; the years he spent as a surgeon and a tyrant of the University. One, which I learned after his death, is the story of how my grandfather became a man; the other, which he told to me, is of how he became a child again.” MenYearsChildrenTwoStoriesRunningLyingSecretWifeRiversArmyUniversityGrandmotherTyrantsGrandfatherTigersMy GrandmotherMy GrandfatherGreat LoveSurgeonsDeathless Book:The Tiger's Wife Source: The Tiger's Wife
