Описание:

In recognition of the Pulitzer Prize-winning authors long and lauded career as a master essayist, a landmark collection, including her most beloved pieces and some rarely seen work, rigorously curated by the author herself.

A writer who never seems tired, who has never plodded her way through a page or sentence, Dillard can only be enjoyed by a wide-awake reader, warns Geoff Dyer in his introduction to this stellar collection. Carefully culled from her past work, The Abundance is quintessential Annie Dillard, delivered in her fierce and undeniably singular voice, filled with fascinating detail and metaphysical fact. The pieces within will exhilarate both admiring fans and a new generation of readers, having been re-framed and re-hung, with fresh editing and reordering by the author, to situate these now seminal works within her larger canon.

The Abundance reminds us that Dillards brand of novelized nonfiction pioneered the form long before it came to be widely appreciated.

Intense, vivid, and fearless, her work endows the true and seemingly ordinary aspects of lifea commuter chases snowball-throwing children through neighborhood streets, a teenager memorizes Rimbauds poetrywith beauty and irony, inviting readers onto sweeping landscapes, to join her in exploring the complexities of time and death, with a sense of humor: on one page, an eagle falls from the sky with a weasel attached to its throat; on another, a man walks into a bar.

Reminding us of the indelible contributions of this formative figure in contemporary nonfiction, The Abundance exquisitely showcases Annie Dillards enigmatic, enduring genius, as Dillard herself wishes it to be marked.

Описание: A collection of True Crime Stories headlined by the murder of Sherri RasmussenFor 23 years, no one knew how Sherri Rasmussen had died. In February of 1986, the body of the 29 year old woman was discovered in the Van Nuys, California, apartment she shared with her husband, John Ruetten. She'd been beaten, according to the medical examiner, and shot three times in what appeared to have been some kind of struggle.Initially, the Los Angeles Police Department determined that the killing was simply the result of a burglary gone wrong - whoever had killed Sherri Rasmussen likely hadn't intended to do so. And with that, the crime went unsolved as two decades passed.Rasmussen's family, however, refused to believe that her murder was nothing more than a botched home invasion - the family, Rasmussen's father in particular, believed that a prime suspect in the case was an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department by the name of Stephanie Lazarus.
