Additional information
by Anne Fadiman (Author), Sam Anderson (Foreword by)
A new collection of evocative personal essays from one of America's most beloved nonfiction writers, Anne Fadiman.
In Frog, Anne Fadiman returns to her favorite genre, the essay, of which she is one of our most celebrated practitioners. Ranging in subject matter from her deceased frog, to archaic printer technology, to the fraught relationship between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his son Hartley, these essays unlock a whole world--one overflowing with mundanity and oddity--through sly observation and brilliant wit.
