The Palmer book to own
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I won't try to sum up in a pithy review the scope and content of this collection, just to say that it is strange, lyrical, and searching. You get a sense that the writer is taking nothing for granted, down to the letter. He expresses a sincere desire to find meaning in the world. There is doubt and dismay throughout, but in the end the lingering feeling is one of hope. Collects three of his most important books in one volume. Recommended.
