Sam Pickering Libros

Sam Pickering escribe en la forma del ensayo familiar, donde su ingenio, afabilidad rústica y sentido de la maravilla, a menudo teñido de picardía, brillan a través de lo que él llama "frases directas y cotidianas". Sus temas van desde flores silvestres en Nueva Escocia hasta chismes de pueblos pequeños en Tennessee y las pretensiones rancias de la vida universitaria. Como ejercicios para "dorar lo mundano", los ensayos de Pickering descubren ironías sutiles, yuxtaponen deleite y melancolía, y divagan pero siempre regresan a casa. Pickering ve la verdad como un compuesto, para ser desmenuzado por el lenguaje.
