Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (Harper Perennial Olive Editions)

The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the remarkable year one woman spent in Virginiaâ€™s Roanoke Valleyâ€”now available in a limited Olive Edition.
â€œA remarkable psalm of terror and celebration.â€â€”Time
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is the story of a dramatic year in Virginia's Roanoke Valley. Annie Dillard sets out to see what she can see. What she sees are astonishing incidents of "beauty tangled in a rapture with violence."
Her personal narrative highlights one year's exploration on foot in the Virginia region through which Tinker Creek runs. In the summer, Dillard stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall, she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays King of the Meadow with a field of grasshoppers. The result is an exhilarating tale of nature and its seasons.
