Do Not Call the Tortoise by Gareth Howell-Jones
A collection of essays about ignorance, Coleridge, Darwin, cats and, rather daringly, the meaning of life. All these are viewed from a fresh perspective called 'STA',which attempts to see the world without our cultural preconceptions. It champions immediacy and our own experience rather than theories and media information.
'I am a great believer in STAIt is more than a book and has enriched my life deeply.' (Max Porter);'Stunning - full of revelatory beauty.' (Katherine May);'A shrine to thoughtfulness and the rich, neglected virtues of reflection.' (Adam Nicolson);'A hugely readable, empathetic and ingenious braiding of philosophy, poetry, art and history brought together with a love for the natural world to show how we might yet exist alongside it more fully.' (Owen Sheers); 'Wonderful, funny and profound.' (Jay Griffiths)
Gareth Howell-Jones is a garden designer and bookseller. He has reviewed books for The Guardian, Spectator and Literary Review. Recently he developed a slightly different way of looking at the world called STA. Visit sta-website.com to find out more.
