A charming little book made for nature lovers!
Hey, that's me :)
Things you can find in this book :
- animals and bugs
- plants
- trees
- people who has something to do with animals
It's just a beautiful experience to see the life of animals, big or small from a closer look.

Writing about the animals you've seen and drawing pictures of them is very chill

My favorite essays were the first two, about how the sweetly intense way some people respond to nature. The rest of the pieces (1-2 pages each) are about specific animals. I'm not sure I liked many of those as well. They tended to anthropomorphize the animals, which didn't work for me. I wasn't expecting that. I like his writing style, just not so much his approach to describing different animals. Hmm. It's a NYRB title and is very prettily published. Maybe I'll come back to it late.

Translating these here as an exercise, and because I kinda like my translations better than Parmée's NYRB ones.
