About This Book

Twelve month-by-month sketches pair atmospheric seasonal description with wry personal observation. Vivid evocations of weather and urban and rural scenes alternate with reflections on daily life, social ritual, and the anxieties and mechanics of preparing writing for print. Anecdote and gentle satire illuminate friendships, acquaintanceship, and the shifting pace of society, producing a cyclical portrait of time, place, and a thoughtful, amused sensibility.
