A Memoir through the Seasons
Liza Dalby
From the anthropologist and novelist who is the Author of Memoirs of a Geisha and other works on Asian and Japanese culture comes a book of essays in what she calls the zuihitsu - followng the brush genre.
The topics covered include Japanese words, plants, gardening, Southern California, Chinese characters, animals, birds, whale watching, racoons, and poetry.
The book is best described as a medley of delights!
This may be one of those books you would rather borrow from the library than own.
Whether you borrow or buy it its book of elegant and excellent prose pieces that are poetic delights!
