Work Description

A meditative reflection in anecdote and vignette on Annie Dillard's writing process. Beautiful and vivid prose.

Annie Dillard has written eleven books, including the memoir of her parents, An American Childhood; the Northwest pioneer epic The Living; and the nonfiction narrative Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. A gregarious recluse, she is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
