About This Life by Barry Lopez
Once, when asked for advice on how to become a writer, Lopez found himself replying: "Read. Find out what you truly believe. Get away from the familiar." This collection of essays stems directly from that philosophy. Here is far-flung travel (the beauty of remote Hokkaido Island, the over-explored Galapagos, enigmatic Bonaire); a naturalist's concerns (for endangered communities as well as their land) and pure adventure. Here, too, are seven exquisite memory pieces; beautiful, meditative recollections that will stand as classic examples of the personal essay.
Barry Lopez is the author of four works of non-fiction, including Arctic Dreams and Of Wolves and Men; seven works of fiction, including Field Notes and Winter Count and a novella-length fable, Crow and Weasel. His work appears regularly in Harper's magazine, where he is a contributing editor, as well as in The Paris Review, Orion and the Georgia Review. He lives in western Oregon.
