And while you always sense his outrage about ecological calamity\, and never doubt his moral engagement\, his advocacy never feels hectoring. There’s no writer living or dead I would rather read on the reliably distressing topic of environmentalism than Donovan Hohn.— Tom Bissell \nI’ve seldom encountered a writer with a better understanding of both the literary and the journalistic ways and means of telling a true story. Donovan Hohn thinks clearly; he writes with eloquence and force.— Lewis H. Lapham \nDonovan Hohn has a diviner’s capacity to tap into the source and the flow of a story\, whether the ‘story’ is narrative or argumentative. His attention to the appearances of things—the false; the true—tunes the reader’s alert-addled animal brain to the meaningful\, and the terrible. As the Earth begins to resist us\, to remind us that how we’re living will be our undoing\, Hohn’s work is that sad\, happy thing\, glinting in the sand: evidence of what a human mind could do\, and what a human heart could yield.— Wyatt Mason \nAbout The Inner Coast \nPrize-winning essays on our changing place in the natural world by the best-selling author of Moby-Duck. \nWriting in the grand American tradition of Annie Dillard and Barry Lopez\, Donovan Hohn is an “adventurous\, inquisitive\, and brightly illuminating writer” (New York Times). Since the publication of Moby-Duck a decade ago\, Hohn has been widely hailed for his prize-winning essays on the borderlands between the natural and the human. The Inner Coast collects ten of his best\, many of them originally published in such magazines as the New York Times Magazine and Harper’s\, which feature his physical\, historical\, and emotional journeys through the American landscape. \nBy turns meditative and comic\, adventurous and metaphysical\, Hohn writes about the appeal of old tools\, the dance between ecology and engineering\, the lost art of ice canoeing\, and Americans’ complicated love/hate relationship with Thoreau. The Inner Coast marks the return of one of our finest young writers and a stylish exploration of what Guy Davenport called “the geography of the imagination.”
