Among both writers and students of the natural world, Annie Dillard is well loved and famous. She should be. There's a blurb on the back cover of this edition from Edward Abbey, no slouch at writing and naturalism himself. In it, he compares Dillard to Thoreau and Emily Dickinson. So, you can see what kind of spiritual company she keeps.
The Quickening Maze (Paperback)

Published: Penguin (Non-Classics), 06/01/2010
Fantastic read; I finished it in about two weeks, which is really fast for me. Foulds takes the true story of the great poet John Clare's incarceration in a mental hospital, in mid-19th century England, and weaves a fictional tale around it. Foulds is a poet as well as a fiction writer, and the twin talent shows clearly in his beautifully rendered prose style. The Quickening Maze was a finalist for the 2009 Man Booker Prize. A talented young writer to keep your eye on.
