Description
Wild Apples marks Wayne Curtis's return to the embrace of home and the colourful lives of the people who inspire him. Simple pleasures like fishing on the Miramichi River and chores like cutting wood, planting beans, and picking crabapples call forth homespun recollections. The birth of his sister at Christmastime, the story of his mother in her own words, and a memorable trip to the circus embody unexpected moments of family love. His meditations on public figures such as Robert Frost and Lord Beaverbrook cast a new, humane light on these icons, and he shares his insights into well-known friends including David Adams Richards. Wayne Curtis is a master of evocative writing. Intensely familiar yet strikingly original, his essays will leave readers thinking about their own lives and their own emotional touchstones.

By 헨리 데이비드 소로What are the imported half-ripe fruits of the torrid South to this fruit matured by the cold of the frigid North? These are those crabbed apples with which I cheated my companion, and kept a smooth face that I might tempt him to eat.
