Group by christie tate7/6/2023 Any bravery that people see in Christie’s own writing can be traced to Lidia’s book.Ĭhristie believes that her initial recovery from active bulimia had a lightning bolt effect. It turns out Lidia teaches online classes through her own organization and Christie was able to study with her and meet some other writers that also loved her book. After she read the book, she was so overcome with emotion about what she gives the reader on the page that she sought her out in order to pen a fan letter. She was so blown away by Lidia’s storytelling, feeling like she had stuck her finger into an electrical socket. “Chronology of Water” by Lidia Yuknavitch is a book that changed her life. She would only learn later that she had a lot to learn. At this time in her life, she believed that if she was thin enough and just made good enough grades, she would be happy. When she was just eighteen, one thing she did not know was that happiness was one thing that she would need to work at understanding for herself and that she would need to untangle a bunch of old messages, toxic stuff from culture, about what happiness required. Her work’s been published in The Washington Post, The New York Times, Pithead Chapel, The Chicago Tribune, McSweeney’s, Entropy Magazine, Motherwell, A Perfect Wedding, Brain, Child,, and others. Tate is a Chicago-based essayist and writer.
