![]() "I do not know how to write a beloved bestseller," she writes, perhaps pointedly to those detractors who saw in her first book's mix of memoir, self-help, self-improvement and spirituality a rather obvious route to bestsellerdom.Īlthough, like millions of others, I adored Eat, Pray, Love, I wasn't overwhelmed with joy when I heard Gilbert had chosen to write, as her follow up, a "sociocultural dissection of marriage". In her "Note to the Reader" at the start of Committed, Gilbert talks of the impossibility of repeating her "freakish" success. ![]() The book sold seven million copies.Īny subsequent effort was always going to be as much about the difficulty of writing anything again, ever. Women didn't just love Eat, Pray, Love they assimilated it, spun narratives out of it, as if it was their story Gilbert had told.

Ten pages on, as the bear describes his hat for a solicitous deer, realization hits: “I HAVE SEEN MY HAT.” The accompanying illustration shows the indignant bear suffused in the page’s angry red. While everyone denies seeing it, a rabbit (sporting, readers will note, a pointy red chapeau) protests a bit too indignantly.
