In recognition of her long and lauded career as a master essayist, a landmark collection including her most beloved pieces and some rarely seen work, rigorously curated by the PulitzerPrize winning author herselfA writer who never seems tired, who has never plodded her way through a page or sentence, Dillard can only be enjoyed by a wideawake reader, warns Geoff Dyer in his introduction to this stellar collection. Carefully culled from her past work, The Abundance is quintessential Annie Dillard, delivered in her fierce and undeniably singular voice, filled with fascinating detail and metaphysical fact. The pieces within will exhilarate both admiring fans and a new generation of readers, having been reframed and rehung, with fresh editing and reordering by the author, to situate these now seminal works within her larger canon.The Abundance reminds us that Dillards brand of novelized nonfiction pioneered the form long before it came to be widely appreciated. Intense, vivid, and fearless, her work endows the true and seemingly ordinary aspects of lifea commuter chases snowballthrowing children through neighborhood streets, a teenager memorizes Rimbauds poetrywith beauty and irony, inviting readers onto sweeping landscapes, to join her in exploring the complexities of time and death, with a sense of humor: on one page, an eagle falls from the sky with a weasel attached to its throat; on another, a man walks into a bar.Including such classic essays as 'Total Eclipse,' 'A Writer in the World' and 'On Foot in Virginia's Roanoke Valley,' The Abundance exquisitely showcases Annie Dillards enigmatic, enduring genius, as Dillard herself wishes it to be marked.
