Description
Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. “Part affecting memoir, part lyric meditation on water, part cultural critique, but after all about all that may be unquenchable within the human revel in, Nicole Walker has created a book that may be actually sui generis. By turns wry, elegiac, and at all times elegant in its precision and force, Walker investigates all that may be contradictory and curious within the micro climate of her immediate circle of relatives and the macro climate of Utah to create no longer a dry treatise, no longer a windless flight of experimental prose, but a natural history of thirst in all its manifestations, directly compulsively readable and extremely personal.”—Robin Hemley
