More copies of this ISBN:Teaching a Stone To Talkby Annie Dillard
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Here, in this compelling assembly of writings, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Dillard explores the world of natural facts and human meanings. Review:"This little book is haloed and informed throughout by Dillard's distinctive passion and intensity, a sort of intellectual radiance that reminds me both Thoreau and Emily Dickinson."(-- Edward Abbey, Chicago Sun-Times) Review:"The natural world is ignited by her prose and we see the world as an incandescent metaphor of the spirit...Few writers evoke better than she the emotion of awe, and few have ever conveyed more graphically the weight of silence, the force of the immaterial."(-- Robert Taylor, Boston Globe) Review:"Teaching a Stone to Talk is superb. As with the flying fish, Annie Dillard doesn't do it often, but when she does she silver-streaks out of the blue and archingly transcends all other writers of our day in all the simple, intimate, and beautiful ways of the natural master." (-- R. Buckminster Fuller) Review:"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) About the AuthorAnnie Dillard is the author of ten books, including the Pulitzer Prize-winner Pilgrim at Tinker Creek as well as An American Childhood, The Living and Mornings Like This She is a member of the Academy of Arts and Letters and has received fellowship grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
