Summary:"A collection of essays and essay fragments John McPhee wrote over the course of his career, stressing the work he never completed, and why"--
In a series of essays and essay fragments-- some less than one page long-- McPhee looks back at his career from the vantage point of his desk drawer, reflecting upon projects he began but never completed or published. These pieces form a "reminiscent montage" of a writing life. Touching on a myriad of subjects, from Thornton Wilder to fireworks over the East River, and teaching during the pandemic, he provides a fresh survey of a singular planet through his eyes. -- adapted from jacket
