Berry talks to the reader as one would talk to a next-door neighbor: never preachy, he comes across as someone offering sound advice. He speaks with sadness of the greedy consumption of this country's natural resources and the grim consequences Americans must face if current economic practices do not change drastically. In the end, these essays offer rays of hope in an otherwise bleak forecast of America's future.

Post Scripts: The Writer's Workshop


We assume that words are posted (mailed or, in another sense, positioned) to communicate with others, to bridge distance and "wish you were here". Get Post Scripts literature books for free.
However, Vincent Kaufmann discovers in his chosen letter writers the urgency not to communicate, to keep their correspondents away, and, as it were, posted. The writer avoids real-life dialogue by way of letters, which then become proving grounds for the work to come. Whatever their intellectual, biographical or aesthetic value - compare Flaubert's passionate dogmatizing to Baudelaire's peevish nagging for money - letters teach writers how to appreciate the sound of their own voice and how to make a workable literary space. Distance gives the relentless letter writer the chance to become a writer. Check Post Scripts our best literature books for 2013.

He is not - decidedly not - without reason. (The pike is pretty nasty as
fish go, don't you agree?)

And while Cuppy may frequently leave in his wake more questions than answers, we surely owe him a debt of gratitude for at least asking. After all, someone has to consider the distinctions between Stoats and Ermines, or why the Age of Reptiles simply had to come to an end. And if his take on the Giant Ground Sloth is less than flattering, who are we to quibble?
