Críticas
Pickering is one of the finest essayists of our time. He is at the height of his powers, and this book is one of his best. --Steven Harvey "author of Lost in Translation " Pickering takes up the stance of the congenial amateur, familiar with a great many things but expert in none, frank about the world's convictions, enemy to pomposity, a representative man who enjoys without apology the pleasures of household and flesh. --Scott Russell Sanders The art of the essay as delivered by Mr. Pickering is the art of the front porch ramble. --New York Times Book Review Pickering can usually get a laugh out of even the most cynical reader. --Publishers Weekly Pickering has all of Thurber's humor, and he writes as well as E. B. White. He writes with passion, wit, and a strange personal note of self-mockery; he is humanely educated, wise, and capable of a wide range of stylistic effects. --Jay Parini
Reseña del editor
Reading Pickering is like taking a walk with your oldest, wittiest friend, said Smithsonian magazine. Living to Prowl, Sam Pickering's ninth collection of essays, finds the acclaimed author walking familiar paths, taking time to enjoy family, friends, nature, and other simple pleasures. Like Pickering's earlier books, this collection records in highly personal and idiosyncratic terms a year in the life of a man with a tenacious commitment to pausing and wondering. Moving easily between humor and seriousness, the mundane and the philosophical, stark truth and evocative fictions, his essays saunter through life and rummage through lives. As Pickering himself puts it, Living to Prowl is meant to make people "turn away from the 'razzleum-dazzleum' of dream and abstraction to see the rich greens and blues at their doorsteps."

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition with Number Line to 1. Signed and inscribed by the author, Sam Pickering, on the title page. The inscription is befitting the playfully provocative personality of the man who was the inspiration for the character of Mr. Keating, played by Robin Williams in the film Dead Poets Society. This book was purchased by me in Storrs-Mansfield where Mr. Pickering resides. Both the book and the dust jacket are in excellent condition. I've rated them each Near Fine. The book suffers No soiling, no markings, no creases and no writing/underlining on any page. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped. There's no soiling on it, no markings, no tears. There are a few tiny scratches on the middle edge. The dust jacket will be fitted with a protective cover. Take a look at the photographs I've provided. See what you think. From the dust jacket flap "Reading Pickering is like taking a walk with your oldest, wittiest friend", said Smithsonian magazine. "As Pickering himself puts it, Living to Prowl is meant to make people turn away from the 'razzleum-dazzleum' of dream and abstraction to see the rich greens and blues at their doorsteps.".
