Teaching a Stone to Talk : Expeditions and Encounters

Teaching a Stone to Talk : Expeditions and Encounters

Editorial Reviews
-- Edward Abbey, Chicago Sun-Times

"This little book is haloed and informed throughout by Dillard's distinctive passion and intensity, a sort of intellectual radiance that reminds me both Thoreau and Emily Dickinson."

-- Robert Taylor, Boston Globe

"The natural world is ignited by her prose and we see the world as an incandescent metaphor of the spirit...Few writers evoke better than she the emotion of awe, and few have ever conveyed more graphically the weight of silence, the force of the immaterial."
