What does it mean to "learn" from our mistakes? Why does one person cringe at the memory of a past stupidity, while another can shrug off multiple messups and continue merrily down lifes treacherous path?

ALICES BIG BOOK OF MISTAKES also poses theoretical questions about the nature of mistakes, failures, and regrets by looking at some worldfamous idiots and global disasters. Plus, ALICES BIG BOOK OF MISTAKES is interactive. There are pages for readers to draw and write about their own mistakes, because lets be honest arent we all on a journey to figure out the value of doing the right (or wrong) thing?ALICE KALTMAN is the author of the story collections Staggerwing and Almost Deadly Almost Good, and the novels The Tantalizing Tale of Grace Minnaugh, Wavehouse, and Dawg Towne.
