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 Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Chocolate Chip and her brother's homemade Liquid Nitrogen Kahlua 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.

评分中文版《闲话大小事》09年读过，上周在旧书店看到这本马上买下了，几天通勤的时间一口气读完。《书趣》(Ex Libris) 是我最喜欢的散文集之一，AF的幽默感读起来让人亲近又很放松。本书前三篇绝对是散文里的佳作。（若不是此书我是不知道兰姆的）。值得一提的是AF的两本散文集的中文翻译版都很优秀，读英文的时候发现行文和我印象里中译版中作者的风格是完全一致的。
