What I’ve Read Lately

The Long Field“Not since Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek have I felt so involved as a reader….This is a beautifully written, un-put-downable book about language, love, and being alive…”

– Gillian Clarke, former National Poet of Wales

Oblivion“Oblivion is a deeply intelligent and strikingly honest exploration of what ultimately drives a writer to write, and the cold loneliness of the journey, and how literary success in one’s lifetime is, at best, a fickle proposition. I will tell every writer I know, struggling or successful, to read this book.”

—Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me: A Memoir
