In At Large and At Small, Anne Fadiman returns to one of her favorite genres, the familiar essay—a beloved and hallowed literary tradition recognized for both its intellectual breadth and its miniaturist focus on everyday experiences. With the combination of humor and erudition that has distinguished her as one of our finest essayists, Fadiman draws us into twelve of her personal obsessions: from her slightly sinister childhood enthusiasm for catching butterflies to her monumental crush on Charles Lamb, from her wistfulness for the days of letter-writing to the challenges and rewards of moving from the city to the country.
Many of these essays were composed “under the influence” of the subject at hand. Fadiman ingests a shocking amount of ice cream and divulges her passion for Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Chocolate Chip and her brother’s homemade Liquid Nitrogen Kahlúa Coffee (recipe included); she sustains a terrific caffeine buzz while recounting Balzac’s coffee addiction; and she stays up till dawn to write about being a night owl, examining the rhythms of our circadian clocks and sharing such insomnia cures as her father’s nocturnal word games and Lewis Carroll’s mathematical puzzles. At Large and At Small is a brilliant and delightful collection of essays that harkens a revival of a long-cherished genre.

幾篇人物傳記(?)好看
评分A.Fadiman最新齣版的隨筆文集,大多數是前幾年在American Scholar上發錶過的文章。文筆本身不錯,但是,與她以前的“Ex Libris” 相比,顯得有點拘謹,缺少瞭一些隨筆應有的輕鬆、親切和風趣。用字與選詞過於考究,甚至顯得有點自我陶醉和自我欣賞。familiar essays 更多的應該象朋友小聚時的閑聊,轉述軼聞或錶達觀點應該讓人有享受的感覺。
