About This Book
A new collection of sprightly personal essays from one of America's most beloved nonfiction writers, Anne Fadiman. In Frog, Anne Fadiman returns to one of her favorite genres, 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 evoke an enormous world, one rife with brilliance and art, mundanity and oddity. The diverse subjects of Frog cling together through 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—in ways small and large—around her as time passes each day.
Reviews
"Anne Fadiman consistently produces essays that are simultaneously erudite and entertaining."
"Witty, sometimes wistful, always sharply observed pieces ..."
"Readers will be captivated."
