About this title

Synopsis

Every new work by the National Book Award-winning Barry Lopez is an event. Lopez is part naturalist, part philosopher, part poet, and his lyrical and profound writings on the natural world and our place within it have earned him a wide following.

In About This Life Lopez turns, for the first time, to autobiographical reflections. Whether travelling to Hokkaido or the Galápagos, Antarctica or Bonaire, or remembering the California and New York of his childhood, Lopez writes brilliantly of the mysterious connections among landscape, memory and imagination. Hauntingly lyrical, these pieces represent Barry Lopez's most personal work to date, and will be read as classics of the essay for years to come.
