Publisher's Summary

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)

“ Becoming Duchess Goldblatt” - at the top of my favs list.

I loved ‘Becoming Duchess Goldblatt’! It is witty but also inspiring and profound. It is guide to happiness and mental health while being a memoir that is gripping from beginning to end.
The anonymous protagonist narrator and Lyle Lovett each did a great job ( i’ve become a Lyle Lovett fan!). The Duchess narrator, though, sometimes didn’t speak clearly and I had to keep replaying her bits to catch one or 2 essential words that I couldn’t make out. The overall listening experience was so good that this seemed like a small price to pay for the overall delight and pleasure I had in listening.
I’ll be recommending the duchess to my friends.
