  • Genre: Fiction & Literature

“One of the most distinctive voices in American letters today” (Boston Globe) collects her favorite writing selections in The Annie Dillard Reader.

This collection of stories, novel excerpts, essays, poetry and more demonstrates the depth and resonance of the writing of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Dillard.

Includes chapters from the novel Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, and An American Childhood, the revised Holy the Firm in its entirety, the revised short story “The Living”, essays from Teaching a Stone to Talk and more.

“She has a strange and wonderful mind, and the ability to speak it with enduring grace.” —The New Yorker

“A stand up ecstatic . . . Like all great writers, she is fresh, jarring, passionately dedicated to her subject.” —Threepenny Review

“This sort of sampler approach works well for a writer whose prose-fiction and non-fiction-often reads like a journal; it also suits readers who like to browse. Dillard moves easily from the specific and physical to the theoretical and metaphysical, blending thought-provoking generalizations with images and descriptions of visceral sensuality. Sure to appeal to Dillard devotees, this collection serves admirably as an introduction to the uninitiated.” —Publishers Weekly

“This selection of writings, chosen by Dillard herself, provides a perfect sampling of her incisive, versatile, and impeccable achievements.” —Booklist
