Product Information
Finalist for an Audie Award in Memoir One of the New York Times ' 20 Books to Read in 2020 Unforgettable...Behind her brilliantly witty and uplifting message is a remarkable vulnerability and candor that reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles--and that we can, against all odds, get through them. -- Lori Gottlieb, New York Times -bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone Part memoir and part joyful romp through the fields of imagination, the story behind a beloved pseudonymous Twitter account reveals how a writer deep in grief rebuilt a life worth living. Becoming Duchess Goldblatt is two stories: that of the reclusive real-life writer who created a fictional character out of loneliness and thin air, and that of the magical Duchess Goldblatt herself, a bright light in the darkness of social media. Fans around the world are drawn to Her Grace's voice, her wit, her life-affirming love for all humanity, and the fun and friendship of the community that's sprung up around her. @DuchessGoldblat (81 year-old literary icon, author of An Axe to Grind ) brought people together in her name: in bookstores, museums, concerts, and coffee shops, and along the way, brought real friends home--foremost among them, Lyle Lovett. The only way to be reliably sure that the hero gets the girl at the end of the story is to be both the hero and the girl yourself. -- Duchess Goldblatt Narrated by Gabra Zackman, with J. Smith Cameron, and Lyle Lovett

Unforgettable...Behind her brilliantly witty and uplifting message is a remarkable vulnerability and candor., Praise for Becoming Duchess Goldblatt A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Title of 2020 A Best Book of the Year from Boston Finalist for the Goodreads Choice Award in Humor Named one of the New York Times '' "20 Books We''re Watching For in 2020" Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2020by Real Simple and The Millions Featured on Katie Couric''s Reading List A Best Book of July in the New York Times, Amazon, the Christian Science Monitor , and Apple An Indie Next Pick A Best Book of the Summer from Marie Claire and Iowa Public Radio "Deeply satisfying, unexpectedly moving...As lovable as the duchess herself...In Duchess Goldblatt''s digital neighborhood, people are not just welcome but completely adored...Duchess and Anonymous subtly, slowly become one person. She no longer feels alone; neither do her subjects. People find solace in this fictional character--and Anonymous does, too." -- Julie Klam, New York Times Book Review "There''s no recipe for Duchess Goldblatt tweets, but they often amount to one part conventional wisdom and two parts surrealism, with some grandmotherly tenderness or saltiness sprinkled in for good measure...Her feed is one of the few places on the internet devoted to spreading unadulterated joy. It''s also a successful example of social media literature, due in part to Duchess''s voice, which requires readers to confront the ridiculousness of the entire premise alongside the sincerity of her musings... Becoming Duchess Goldblatt recontextualizes the Twitter account as a therapeutic exercise." -- Kate Dwyer, New York Times "Uplifting." -- People , "The Best New Books" "A tonic, a gift for our anxious summer... Becoming Duchess Goldblatt is many things, all of them splendid...The best sort of self-help, demonstrating that creativity, generosity and even Twitter...can offer salvation and lift all boats...Anonymity liberates the author to share her story without restraint. The book is enriched by two distinct voices: one frank and vulnerable, the other all-knowing. You believe the details of the author''s life because, though Duchess, she''s committed to staying generous and true...This sort of anonymity, in a time of too much oversharing on too many platforms, is a respite. We need magic. The book''s timing is inspired. It''s a summer cocktail of a book. Of Duchess Goldblatt, we would expect nothing less." -- Washington Post "The writer goes to great lengths in the book to demarcate herself from the Duchess. Goldblatt is an alter ego, someone onto whom she can project her pain and have it come back in the form of jokes. An obvious model is Dorothy Parker, but in a way the writer''s creative nimbleness and insistence on anonymity brings to mind someone more like Lee Israel...Her proclamations sound like pithy lines from a standup special--that is, if the comedian was God and if God was an 81-year-old woman from the 17th century...What''s most astonishing is the relationship Duchess has with her community...They find her amusing, comforting, assuring...Originally used as a tool to deal with her own trauma, over time the Duchess has mutated into something more like a movement. Duchess Goldblatt is a kid of way to rewrite the ways we treat ourselves and the people around us. The writer admits to a very famous friend she meets at one point in the book that the Duchess ''whispers'' little prayers to each of her followers...It''s loving, The beloved Twitter persona Duchess Goldblatt is celebrated for her pithy wit and occasionally scathing observations, but this memoir from her anonymous creator is surprisingly poignant., Praise for Becoming Duchess Goldblatt Named one of the New York Times ' "20 Books We're Watching For in 2020" Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2020 by Real Simple "A fascinating memoir by a 21st-century original."-- Kirkus, STARRED review "A surprising, joyful story of social media at its best."-- Booklist "After reading this unforgettable memoir, I figured out who Duchess Goldblatt is: all of us. Behind her brilliantly witty and uplifting message is a remarkable vulnerability and candor that reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles--and that we can, against all odds, get through them. As though casting a magic spell on her readers, she moves, inspires, and connects us through her unvarnished humanity. It was, for this therapist, a form of therapy I didn't know I needed." -- Lori Gottlieb, New York Times -bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone "This book is, like Duchess Goldblatt herself, nothing you expect and everything you need. It's a memoir not just of one life (failures and triumphs laid bare) but also of a second self--its creation, its evolution, its improbable splendor. We may never deserve Duchess Goldblatt and her magnanimity, but her inventor most certainly does." -- Rebecca Makkai, author of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist The Great Believers "What an unexpected marvel of a book, funny and poignant and--dare I say--sweet. It's fashionable to bash social media, but without it, we wouldn't have Duchess and that would be a damn shame."-- Laura Lippman, New York Times -bestselling author of Lady in the Lake and Sunburn "The question I am most often asked by readers out in the world, is, 'Who is Duchess Goldblatt?' The correct answer is, 'She is the Universe's secret admirer, a made-up & hilarious octogenarian who lives on Twitter, who delivers love and demands it in equal, astonishing measure.' What they mean is: what's her real identity? This book does not precisely reveal that. Instead it's the actual memoir of a fictional person, a meditation on what it means to start again in the oddest way possible. It is also heartbreaking, funny, gorgeously written, surprising, brilliant, profound, the book only Duchess Goldblatt herself could have written." -- Elizabeth McCracken , bestselling author of Bowlaway and The Giant's House "A memoir that is, ironically, about the power a fiction can exert on us all, she tells us a story about late Capitalism, social media, the financial crisis, and America, and being a woman trying to survive it all. Whatever someone expects this to be, it isn't, and that is, perhaps, the real secret to the Duchess underneath it all." -- Alexander Chee, bestselling author of The Queen of the Night and How to Write an Autobiographical Novel " Becoming Duchess Goldblatt is a story about the importance of community--of kindness, acceptance, and friendship. The world would be a better place if we all became Duchess Goldblatt." -- Lyle Lovett "Surely you follow Duchess Goldblatt on Twitter? If not, do yourself a favor and hit that button to subscribe to her delightful musings. In Becoming Duchess Goldblatt , the Duchess' real-life anonymous creator writes about crafting one of Twitter's (if not the Internet's) best accounts and healing herself in the process." -- Real Simple
