JANUARY 2021
Annie Dillard: For the Time Being
Annie Dillard: For the Time Being
Strange, surreal, and at times haunting, Annie Dillard’s For the Time Being guides through reader through a series of narratives exploring the most fundamental questions of humanity and its (in)significance. “Beautifully written and delightfully strange…as earthy as it is sublime…in the truest sense, an eye-opener.” —Daily News
In Dillard’s words: ”It tells many short journalistic stories, and a few long ones: Hasidism, Teilhard de Chardin and fossil Homo erectus, the formation of sand, the critical importance of the individual in a world of almost 7 billion individuals, and the absurdity of the doctrines of divine omniscience, divine mercy, and divine omnipotence.”
