Wayfaring : Essays Pleasant And Unpleasant

A superb stylist with incisive insight, Alan Jacobs is especially fond of the essay as a writing form, and in this volume he offers eighteen beautifully written pieces reflecting on the Christian journey. Through these “wayfaring” essays both serious and comic, eloquent and intriguing – including one piece in the form of a wickedly witty poem – Jacobs muses on the usefulness and dangers of blogging, the art of dictionary making, the world of Harry Potter, the life of trees, and much more.
