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 Galápagos, 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.
"He writes like an angel in porcelain-fine prose, unpredictable, lucid, and achingly understated"
STANLEY STEWART,
Literary Review
A literal and figurative journey across the landscape of autobiography by the author of Arctic Dreams.
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 the remote Hokkaido Island, the over-exposed Galapagos, enigmatic Bonaire); a nauralist'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.
"Lopez has achieved a prose of true beauty. He loves the land and how it speaks to him and writes about both with passion and clarity ... It is hard to praise Lopez's work enough" EDWARD MARRIOT, The Times
"An exquisite set of essays ... non-fiction writing of this grace and grandeur now looks as rare and as threatened as the wolves or bears Lopez so lyrically pursues" BOYD TONKIN, Independent
