Detaljer om værketPrairyErth af William Least Heat-Moon (1991)
   Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. An epic by WLHM. More whimsical but still a Kaplanesque look at a county in eastern Kansas. Walking all the roads and investigating history, economcs and people in the #heartland" of America. Lyrical and insightfl and full of material I was unfamiliar with. A unique book for sure. Almost a 5. (  ) JBreedlove | Oct 10, 2019 |  Probably I'd call it a four-star book. I did read a fair bit of it I just don't have the patience for the whole thing right now, and I have to cull because we're moving. I will say I'd rather not have had so many other writers' quotes - a good annotated bibliography would have been sufficient imo. I did skip ahead and read the last bit, Circlings, and that was cool.

This New York Times bestseller by the author of Blue Highways is "a majestic survey of land and time and people in a single county of the Kansas plains" (Hungry Mind Review). William Least Heat-Moon travels by car and on foot into the core of our continent, focusing on the landscape and history of Chase County--a sparsely populated tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills of central Kansas--exploring its land, plants, animals, and people until this small place feels as large as the universe. Called a "modern-day Walden" by the Chicago Sun-Times, PrairyErth is a journey through a place, through time, and into the human mind from the acclaimed author of Here, There, Elsewhere: Stories from the Road. "A sense of the American grain that will give [PrairyErth] a permanent place in the literature of our country." --Paul Theroux, The New York Times No library descriptions found. |
