Book of the Day: The Other Walk by Sven Birkerts
by Chris Hall - Tuesday, Jan 24, 2012 at 9:49am
In The Other Walk, looks through his own life and at the lives of his children in a series of autobiographical pieces. This engaging collection of essays, by a master of reflection and slow time, presents the humblest objects -- remembered places, lost-objects-found -- that trigger his keen eye and sinuous prose. But the most winning object of all is the emerging character of Birkerts himself. We learn great respect for the loyal friend, the caring father, the traveller, the one-time bookseller, the writer, and throughout it all, the attentive, passionate reader.
