Capa do Annie Dillard: An American Childhood (ePUB)

An American Childhood is the electrifying memoir of the wide-eyed and unconventional upbringing that influenced the lifetime love of nature and the stunning writing career of Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard. From her mother”s boundless energy to her father”s low-budget horror movies, jokes and lonesome river trips down to New Orleans to get away, the events of Dillard”s 1950s Pittsburgh childhood loom larger than life. An American Childhood fizzes with the playful observations and sparkling prose of this American master, illuminating the seemingly ordinary and yet always thrilling, dizzying moments of a childhood and adolescence lived fearlessly.
