The character of their meeting encapsulates all the oneiric, irrational, partially romantic, partially despondent tenor of the evening of bar hopping that follows,...

Before you catch the chick flick, meet the real Elizabeth Gilbert, who penned the 2006 bestselling memoir based on her own soul-searching journey. 1. She's Self-Taught Although she took a few writing classes while attending New York University, Gilbert didn't make her magic happen in a classroom. The author opted to create her own post-graduate writing program.
