How does a person move toward finding their calling?

 

The title Young Tambling references a song recorded by Anne Briggs in 1971, a 10-minute version of the Scottish border ballad more widely known as "Tam Lin," a song about decision and transformation.

 

I had the germ of an idea: "not autobiography but about biography."

 

I don't think Young Tambling turned out to be a book about biography though, exactly. I'd say it's an experimental memoir, about a sense of otherness that gradually reveals itself to be suited to doing something.
