Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Annie Dillard, 1974

Pulitzer Prize, 1975.

A year of close looking at one creek in Virginia. Dense and dazzling.

Talk about it

  1. What did Dillard's close looking show you that you'd never stopped to see?
  2. Her prose is dense. Did it pull you in or slow you down?
  3. Is nature, as she sees it, beautiful, cruel, or both?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
