Author(s): Halpern, Dan

Gardening

This delightful anthology features pieces by some of the best authors of the 20th century, such as Italo Calvino, John Fowles, Bruce Chatwin, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Richard Ford, Cormac McCarthy, and many more. A vivid and wide-ranging collection, it addresses its mammoth subject with wit, originality and wisdom. In a time where man's relationship to nature is so warped that we often do not know where the food we eat has come from, or even, sometimes, what it is, this is a joyful and intelligent re-examination of our place in the natural world. Daniel Halpern is the author of 7 collections of poetry, and the editor of numerous anthologies. He is currently editor-in-chief of The Ecco Press. Dan Frank, Editorial Director of Pantheon Books, has edited books on natural history for over 10 years and helped launch the Penguin Nature Library during his time at Viking Penguin.
