“She has a strange and wonderful mind, and the ability to speak it with enduring grace.” —
The New Yorker
“A stand up ecstatic . . . Like all great writers, she is fresh, jarring, passionately dedicated to her subject.” —
Threepenny Review
“This sort of sampler approach works well for a writer whose prose-fiction and non-fiction-often reads like a journal; it also suits readers who like to browse. Dillard moves easily from the specific and physical to the theoretical and metaphysical, blending thought-provoking generalizations with images and descriptions of visceral sensuality. Sure to appeal to Dillard devotees, this collection serves admirably as an introduction to the uninitiated.” —
Publishers Weekly
“This selection of writings, chosen by Dillard herself, provides a perfect sampling of her incisive, versatile, and impeccable achievements.” —
