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)

Gabra Zackman is perfectly cast as the primary narrator, the voice of Anonymous. Her voice has an earthy reality that grounds the proceedings, making us truly feel the devastation and heartache that haunt Anonymous' life. Peppered throughout are actual tweets from Duchess Goldblatt, read with charming Goldblattian verve by J. Smith-Cameron. And the inclusion of Lyle Lovett voicing the tweets of Lyle Lovett is simply [chef's kiss].
Becoming Duchess Goldbatt is a triumph--beautifully written and performed, moving, insightful, laugh-out-loud funny, and even inspiring. I should have expected nothing less.
