My Take

Ann Beattie is, to me, one of those quietly formidable writers whose power sneaks up on you. A novelist and a master of the short story, she has gathered a Guggenheim, the PEN/Malamud Award, the Rea Award, and a fellowship in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences without ever seeming to chase the spotlight. Just the title Chilly Scenes of Winter conjures the cold air and human solitude I suspect she spends her pages mapping. I admire writers who whisper rather than shout yet leave a permanent mark, and that she also taught the next generation only deepens my respect for her.
