Each one is an acute observation of an ordinary moment (or more) in time. I so enjoyed her warm, witty writing that covers everything from the trivial to the deeply moving.Ĭrosley's book includes 16 essays, some under two pages long and some continuing for more than 20 pages. So, I was excited to listen to her latest essay collection, Look Alive Out There, on audio last month, read by the author. I'd heard rave reviews online, on podcasts, and from friends. ![]() Ever since the 2008 release of her best-selling collection of essays, I Was Told There'd Be Cake, I've been wanting to read some of Sloane Crosley's work. ![]()
