At Large and at Small - Confessions of a Literary Hedonist - BBC Audiobook - cheops
By Anne Fadiman ( author of 'Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader' ) - read by Teresa Gallagher.
In "At Large and At Small", Anne Fadiman returns to one of her favourite genres, the familiar essay - a beloved and hallowed literary tradition recognized for both its intellectual breadth and its miniaturist focus on everyday experiences. With her wonderful combination of wit and erudition, 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 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.
This is a perfect book for life's passionate obsessives.
Five episodes of 15 minutes each.
Episode 1: Mail
Hovering by her letterbox, the author argues that a postal delivery is one of the few unplanned and unplannable experiences left to the human race.
Episode 2: Night Owl
Pity the author, a night owl married to a lark, suffering society's prejudices.
Episode 3: Coffee
A compact history of our love affair with this most invigorating bean.
Episode 4: Moving
After uprooting her family from the city to the country, the author explores the emotional and physical stresses brought about by the moving process.
Episode 5: The Unfuzzy Lamb
A passionate reappraisal of the life and work of essayist Charles Lamb.
