Virga & Bone: Essays from Dry Places by Craig Childs

4.0

A love letter to dry places; to thirst, to bare things, and to the place of death in the order of the world. The author painted a picture of the desert that does justice to its diverse face and austere, but somehow beautiful inhospitality. I found the book poetic, striking, and even lyrical in some places. Highly recommended for anyone who thinks longingly of canyons, arches, and desert sandstone.
