Rick Bass Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Rick Bass duikt diep in de verbindingen tussen de wilde natuur en de menselijke ervaring, waarbij hij een zowel lyrische als scherp observerende stijl hanteert. Zijn werk onderzoekt de ingewikkelde relatie tussen natuur en identiteit, vaak gesitueerd tegen de achtergrond van afgelegen, bedreigde landschappen. Bass' schrijven is een gepassioneerde verdediging van de wildernis, gekenmerkt door een diepe waardering voor de natuurlijke wereld en een contemplatieve benadering van onze plaats daarin.
In this anthology, 26 writers illuminate the motivations at the heart of their creative lives in original essays that are as surprising and varied as their fiction. The contributors include Pat Conroy, Norman Mailor, Rick Moody and David Foster Wallace.
