Lessons From My Teachers eBook

An inspiring collection of "pristine, perfect" (Elizabeth Strout) essays on the life-altering bonds between teacher and student and the timeless wisdom imparted both inside and outside the classroom—from critically acclaimed author, MacArthur genius, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, and Tony Award-nominated playwright and author, Sarah Ruhl.

Based on her popular class at Yale, this "tender and profound" (Booklist) essay collection from one of our greatest living playwrights and teachers, Sarah Ruhl, is a testament to the singular impact of teachers across every stage of our lives. Anchored in stories both personal and universal, drawing on Sarah’s experiences with her parents and children, with schoolteachers, creative influences, and beyond, Lessons from My Teachers is a "a true tribute to those who teach… [that] masterfully captures the ineffable essence of all that passes between teacher and student" (Sharon Salzberg).

Perfect for sharing with loved ones and role models alike and meant for marking important seasons and milestones, Lessons from My Teachers is a collection "told by a master storyteller…Anyone who learns and teaches will find affirmation in this book." (Kirkus Reviews).
