Cover of Anne Fadiman: At Large and at Small (ePUB)

Butterflies, ice-cream, writing at night, playing word games…in this witty, intimate and delicious book Anne Fadiman ruminates on her passions, both literary and everyday. From mourning the demise of letter-writing to revealing a monumental crush on Charles Lamb, from Balzac’s coffee addiction to making ice-cream from Liquid Nitrogen, she draws us into a world of hedonistic pleasures and literary delights. This is the perfect book for life’s ardent obsessives.
