Talking to Trees

From the author of The Wolf of 116th Street comes a rich, eclectic collection of stories, essays, and reflections.ITalking to Trees is a thoughtfully woven collection of short stories, observations, and poems that linger in the mind long after the page is turned. With warmth, wit, and a finely tuned eye for detail, Bruce Wiggins writes about ordinary lives made luminous-moments of youth and age, chance encounters, private reckonings, and small mysteries that quietly open onto something larger. These pieces move fluidly between humor and tenderness, realism and suggestion, often leaving the reader to decide where memory ends and imagination begins. In the tradition of James Thurber and E.B. White, this is prose that values voice, character, and the pleasure of attentive reading."I don't generally read short stories… But this collection made me a convert."Perfect for fans of James Thurber, Amor Towles, and E.B. White, Talking to Trees is a kaleidoscope of voices, moods, and lives-each one worth listening to.
