Looking outwards, into the past, and to the natural landscape for inspiration, these masterful essays offer elegant ruminations on the experience of living. Divided into four distinct sections, the collection explores memories of a small-town childhood, examines subjects such as the Rosetta Stone, and investigates the meaning of dreams before delivering its grand finale: a meditation on the mysterious identity of a writer.
