Dillard opens our eyes to the world and to new ways of articulating
what we see
*GEOFF DYER*
Annie Dillard is one of those people who seem to be more fully
alive than most of us, more nearly wide-awake than human beings
generally get to be
* * New York Times * *
Among the greatest nature writers who have ever lived . . . Keen,
urgent and impassioned, her subject is life itself, in all its
teeming and marvellous forms
*OLIVIA LAING*
It was Annie Dillard who got me, before it was too late, to pay
attention to where I was before I lost it
*RICHARD HOLLOWAY*
Annie Dillard's words are the outpouring of a brilliant mind

incandescent imagery lifts us to heights few writers can ever hope

Superb . . . Annie Dillard silver-streaks out of the blue and
archingly transcends all other writers of our day in all the
simple, intimate, and beautiful ways of the natural master
*BUCKMINSTER FULLER*

which she evokes better than anyone else
*ROBERT MACFARLANE*
Annie Dillard's books are like comets, like celestial events that
remind us that the reality we inhabit is itself a celestial
event
*MARILYNNE ROBINSON*
Annie Dillard's wise and funny essays remind us of what a profound
blessing life can be if we do but one thing: Pay attention
*GARY TRUDEAU*
In essay after essay, Annie Dillard demonstrates the mystical art
of using exactitude, condensation, and clarity to intimate
turbulence, rapture, and plenty. . . The landscape of nonfiction
and American letters looks barren without her radiance
*MAGGIE NELSON*
