Frog
Description
A new collection of evocative personal essays from one of America's most beloved nonfiction writers, Anne Fadiman.
In Frog, Anne Fadiman returns to her favorite genre, the essay, of which she is one of our most celebrated practitioners. Ranging in subject matter from her deceased frog, to archaic printer technology, to the fraught relationship between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his son Hartley, these essays unlock a whole world-one overflowing with mundanity and oddity-through sly observation and brilliant wit.
The diverse subjects of Frog are bound together by the quality of Fadiman's attention, and subtly, they come to form a slantwise portrait of the artist, a writer dedicated to chronicling the world as it changes around her, in ways small and large, as time passes.
