Publisher Description Reading Pickering is like taking a walk with your oldest, wittiest friend, said Smithsonian magazine. Living to Prowl, Sam Pickerings ninth collection of essays, finds the acclaimed author walking familiar paths, taking time to enjoy family, friends, nature, and other simple pleasures. Like Pickerings earlier books, this collection records in highly personal and idiosyncratic terms a year in the life of a man with a tenacious commitment to pausing and wondering. Moving easily between humor and seriousness, the mundane and the philosophical, stark truth and evocative fictions, his essays saunter through life and rummage through lives. As Pickering himself puts it, Living to Prowl is meant to make people "turn away from the razzleum-dazzleum of dream and abstraction to see the rich greens and blues at their doorsteps." Author Biography Sam Pickering is a professor of English at the University of Connecticut. He has written eight other essay collections, including "A Continuing Education" and "The Right Distance" (Georgia). He lives in Storrs, Connecticut.
