reviewed Holy the Firm on
A thought provoking and jarring look at the things we rarely consider beautiful (or don't want to consider). Dillard is always among my favorites.

"This is a profound book about the natural world" (from the back cover)

"..."a book of richness, beauty and power ... The violence is sometimes unbearable, the language rarely less than superb . . . nature seen so clear and hard that the eyes tear . . ." Frederick Buechner, The New York Times Book Review
