Teaching a Stone to Talk by Annie Dillard
"A collection of meditations like polished stones -- painstakingly worded, tough-minded, yet partial to mystery, and peerless when it comes to injecting larger resonances into the natural world." -- Kirkus Reviews
Here, in this compelling assembly of writings, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Dillard explores the world of natural facts and human meanings.
Veering away from the long, meditative studies of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek or Holy the Firm, Annie Dillard explores and celebrates moments of spirituality, dipping into descriptions of encounters with flora and fauna, stars, and more, from Ecuador to Miami. There is no writer quite like Dillard when it comes to the mysteries and wonder of the natural world.
Annie Dillard is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, as well as a number of other nonfiction books such as An American Childhood and For the Time Being. The Living and The Maytrees are two of her most recent works.
