Fisher first envisioned Last House as an anthology of interesting stories and useful tips. But as age and illness took their toll, this compilation became a testament to her will to continue writing and is a wry, candid portrait of an artist grappling with growing older. Named after the house she lived in for more than twenty years, Last House is also a frank, touching examination of the experiences that shaped her life's work.
Fisher relives the "white wine" trips she and her family took to Guadalajara and Marseille; she ponders the connection between an appreciation of food and love; she remembers the splendor and magic of the Paris she visited as a young girl, and again as a student and a young wife. Most significantly, Fisher explores the craft of writing and the importance of a writer's independence.
