This little book is packed with short, easy to read, deceptively profound daily readings for someone who is grieving. It makes a great little gift. It would be useful for those grieving any kind of loss--death of a spouse, son or daughter, close friend, parent, loss of a relationship, loved job, good health, etc. The daily readings are just the right size--not too much for someone overwhelmed with grief and struggling to find solid footing.
humorous, and insightful, Readings is a collection of classic essays and reviews by Michael Dirda, book critic of the Washington Post and winner of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for criticism. From a first reading of Beckett and Faulkner at the feet of an inspirational high-school English teacher to a meeting of the P. G. Wodehouse Society, from an obsession with Nabokov's Lolita to the discovery of the Japanese epic The Tale of Genji, these essays chronicle a lifetime of literary enjoyment.
