Teaching a Stone to Talk. Expeditions and Encounters.
New York: Harper & Row, 1982. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine price-clipped dust jacket. Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters is a collection of fourteen essays that address themes of nature, God, time, and memory. Dillard explores and celebrates moments of spirituality, dipping into descriptions of encounters with flora and fauna, stars, and more, from Ecuador to Miami. The meditations are like polished stones — painstakingly worded, tough-minded, yet partial to mystery, and peerless when it comes to injecting larger resonances into the natural world. Item #27315
