 Reservation From Susan Orlean\, the beloved New Yorker writer and bestse
 lling author of The Orchid Thief and The Library Book who has been haile
 d as “a national treasure” by The Washington Post\, comes a masterful me
 moir of finding her creative calling and purpose that invites us to appr
 oach life with wonder\, curiosity\, and an irrepressible sense of deligh
 t. “The story of my life is the story of my stories\,” writes Susan Orle
 an in this extraordinary\, era-defining memoir from one of the greatest 
 practitioners of narrative nonfiction of our time. Joyride is a magic ca
 rpet ride through Orlean’s life and career\, where every day is an oppor
 tunity for discovery and every moment holds the potential for wonder. Th
 roughout her storied career\, her curiosity has drawn her to explore the
  most ordinary and extraordinary of places\, from going deep inside the 
 head of a regular ten-year-old boy for a legendary profile (“The America
 n Man Age Ten”) to reporting on a woman who owns twenty-seven tigers\, f
 rom capturing the routine magic of Saturday night to climbing Mt. Fuji. 
 Not only does Orlean’s account of a writing life offer a trove of indisp
 ensable gleanings for writers\, it’s also an essential and practical “ma
 ster class” (The New York Times) to embracing any creative path. She tak
 es us through her process of dreaming up ideas\, managing deadlines\, co
 nnecting with sources\, chasing every possible lead\, confronting writer
 ’s block and self-doubt\, and crafting the perfect lede—a Susan specialt
 y. While Orlean has always written her way into other people’s lives in 
 order to understand the human experience\, Joyride is her most personal 
 book ever—a searching journey through finding her feet as a journalist\,
  recovering from the excruciating collapse of her first marriage\, falli
 ng head-over-heels in love again\, becoming a mother while mourning the 
 decline of her own mother\, sojourning to Hollywood for films based on h
 er work including Adaptation and Blue Crush\, and confronting mortality.
  Joyride is also a time machine to a bygone era of journalism\, from Orl
 ean’s bright start in the golden age of alt-weeklies to her career-makin
 g days working alongside icons such as Robert Gottlieb\, Tina Brown\, Da
 vid Remnick\, Anna Wintour\, Sonny Mehta\, and Jonathan Karp—forces who 
 shaped the media industry as we know it today. Infused with Orlean’s sig
 nature warmth and wit\, Joyride is a must-read for anyone who hungers to
  start\, build\, and sustain a creative life. Orlean inspires us to seek
  out daily inspiration and rediscover the marvels that surround us. Susa
 n Orlean has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1992. She is th
 e New York Times bestselling author of seven books\, including The Libra
 ry Book\, Rin Tin Tin\, Saturday Night\, and The Orchid Thief\, which wa
 s made into the Academy Award–winning film Adaptation. She lives with he
 r family and her animals in Los Angeles. Dana Goodyear has been writing
