Strangers: Essays on the Human and Nonhuman - Thryft

Intersection of humanity, ecology, and poetic thought.

If you're looking to step outside your usual reading zone and delve into something that dissects the intricate bond between humans and the environment, "Strangers" might just be the treasure you're after. Tamas's writing wields a lyrical, almost otherworldly quality that compels you to see the world—and our role within it—through a refreshingly transformative lens. This isn't just an essay collection; it's a journey that challenges and enriches your understanding of existence itself.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In Strangers, Rebecca Tamas explores where the human and nonhuman meet, and why this delicate connection just might be the most important relationship of our times. From 'On Watermelon' to 'On Grief', Tamas's essays are exhilarating to read in their radical and original exploration of the links between the environmental, the political, the folkloric and the historical. From thinking stones, to fairgrounds, from colliding planets to transformative cockroaches, Tamas's lyrical perspective takes the reader on a journey between body, land and spirit-exploring a new ecological vision for our fractured, fragile world.
