Reviews / Votes
"The best essayist of my generation."-John Updike"America's most intelligent and wide-ranging essayist-naturalist."-Philip Roth"One of the very best writers of his generation."-Saul Bellow"Edward Hoagland is a strong, solid writer with a splendid feel for the intricacy, queerness and stubborn pertinacity of life. He is also, so far as I know, the best essayist working in our perishing republic."-Edward Abbey "Hoagland is our wild world's literary virtuoso."-Annie Proulx"The Thoreau of our time, an essayist so intensely personal, so sharp-eyed and deep-sighted, so tender and tough, lyrical and elegiac, as to transmute a simple stroll into a full-blown mystical experience."-Washington Post "The best of Edward Hoagland is the best in the land."-Annie Dillard"Hoagland, one of the few American writers who has forged a brilliant career out of essays, is our Chopin of the genre."-Joyce Carol Oates"One of the best celebrants of the natural world."--The Atlantic"Hoagland is surely one of our most truthful writers about nature . . ."--The New York Times Book ReviewMore details
