Publisher Notes
The author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek on contemporary writers who "matter," from Calvino to Marquez. "Stimulating."--New York Times Book Review
Media Reviews
"In her new work, the object of her philosophical inquiries is art--in particular, contemporary writing. Fiction, argues Dillard, rather than the more specialized fields of psychology, physics, and anthropology, best interprets the ideas and experiences most crucial to the human condition....This is a bold, provocative book that celebrates the necessity of art."
