Description
Annie Dillard's For the Time Being is a thought-provoking narrative that invites readers to ponder the mysteries of existence. With her characteristic keen eye and yearning for truth, Dillard searches for answers in a diverse range of images.
From the standard reference of human birth defects to terra-cotta figures fashioned for a Chinese emperor, Dillard's exploration is both vivid and eloquent, evoking the terrifying grandeur of all that remains beyond our understanding. This beautifully written work is a humbling and original meditation on the human perspective of the world.
