Annie Dillard

American essayist and naturalist whose Pilgrim at Tinker Creek won the Pulitzer Prize for its intense, visionary attention to the natural world. The Writing Life is an unusually honest account of the writer's experience of writing. For the Time Being ranges across geology, Talmudic commentary, and the mystery of evil with fearless curiosity.
