Laurie Colwin Remembered Today: Read One Of Her Many Marvelous Books

Share

The great author, novelist, writer, humorist Laurie Colwin would have been 70 years old today. Wow, how time flies. Laurie passed away in October 1992 from a silent heart attack, in her sleep. But her many books live on in print, and soon as e books (which she would have hated). Laurie left us with a lot of birthday presents in Happy All the Time, Another Marvelous Thing, A Big Storm Knocked it Over, The Lone Pilgrim. And she’s developed a whole following with her food essays in Home Cooking, and More Home Cooking. Laurie also left behind a wonderful daughter, Rosa Jurjevics, a writer and editor herself.

Happy Birthday, Laurie!
