Description:
Though Brooks Atkinson is chiefly known for his work as
Pulitzer prize-winning drama critic for the New York Times, this book
makes a decided change from the usual. It is formatted as one year's
daily journal. Each short essay reads like the musings of a person who
can ably convey sentiments and enthusiasms with a few perfectly chosen
words.
Be forewarned: even if you do not hold a great interest in birds, ships or astronomy, these subjects are woven into the essays with vigor and a simplicity that may spark your own awareness.
These essays reveal a very civil and gracious man who valued honesty and kindness. Atkinson's observations, from the catastrophe of WWII to the return of spring are interwoven with these values...and no pomposity at all.
