When two aspiring writers meet, one older, one younger, their lives become entwined in unexpected ways. Through successes and disappointments, their bond deepens, revealing the highs and lows of a writer's journey. Exquisitely written, Mentor is an honest and heartfelt exploration of the writing life, with a particular focus on the role of a mentor. This memoir is a powerful portrayal of the connections that form between writers, and the ways in which these relationships can both support and challenge us. Through its candid and introspective pages, Tom Grimes shares his own experiences as a writer, and the lessons he learned from his extraordinary friendship with Frank Conroy.
