Glimpses of the natural world
This book is composed of miniature essays, typically only three or four
pages long. The book is also divided
into two sections, Things of the Earth and Things of Heaven. Written in a highly imaginative style, the
writer takes great joy in categorizing different things on heaven and
earth. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of
the writing style and had to bail after seventy pages or so. The prose seemed highly precious and grated
on me, though I admired the ambition and I admired the quirky
determination. I actually think these
pieces may be more like poems, savored one at a time, rather than read like in
a normal book.
