Industry 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."
Saturday Review - Andrea Barnet (03/19/1982)
"Whether the field of investigation is nature or fiction, Annie Dillard digs for ultimate meanings as instinctively and as determinedly as hogs for truffles."
Washington Post Book World - John Breslin (04/04/1982)
