Pulitzer Prize winner and Nobel Laureate Annie Dillard has dedicated her life to examining the world around her with her eyes wide open, drinking life in an intense and relentless way. Whether watching a sublime lunar eclipse or a moth consumed in a candle flame, the trembling of water lilies in a pond or hundreds of fleeing redwinged blackbirds, Dillard’s astonishment at the fragility of the natural world rejuvenates and inspires pleasure and anguish. Precise in language and deeply meditative in spirit, this collection of narrative essays by one of America’s finest living voices is memorable.
