We are already looking forward to 2013's list of great recent nonfiction!
As Cheryl Strayed says in her memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, "There's no way to know what makes one thing happen and not another. What leads to what. What destroys what. What causes what to flourish or die or take another course." Yet that seems to be the nonfiction writer's task, to understand how the world came to be the way it is, how it is changing even as we observe it, and how people make their way in it, with curiosity, determination, courage, forbearance, forgiveness, humor, and not a little luck.
We hope you will join us in 2013 to read and discuss the titles posted on the right side of this page.
And don't forget our remaining 2012 discussions of Blue Nights by Joan Didion and Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend by Susan Orlean!
