The Pulitzer Prizeâwinning writer and author of Charlotteâs Web documents his move from Manhattan to a saltwater farm in New England: âSuperb reading.â âThe New Yorker
Called âa mid-20thâcentury Thoreauâ by Notre Dame Magazine, E. B. Whiteâs desire to live a simple life caused him to sell half his worldly goods, give up his job writing the New Yorkerâs âNotes and Commentâ editorial page, and move with his family to a saltwater farm in North Brooklin, Maine. There, White got into the nuts-and-bolts of rural lifeânot without a lot of self-reflectionâand surrounded himself with barnyard characters, some of whom would later appear in Charlotteâs Web.
One Manâs Meat is Whiteâs collection of pithy and unpretentious essays on such topics as living with hay fever (âI understand so well the incomparable itch of eye and nose for which the only relief is to write to the President of the United Statesâ), World War II (âI stayed on the barn, steadily laying shingles, all during the days when Mr. Chamberlain, M. Daladier, the Duce, and the FÞhrer were arranging their horse tradeâ), and even dog training (âBeing the owner of dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humorâ).
Though first published in 1942, this book delivers timeless lessons on the value of living close to nature in our quest for self-discovery. With each subject broached and reflected upon, it âbecomes an ardent and sobering guidebook for those of us trying to live our day-to-day lives nowâ (Pif magazine).
âThe most succinct, graceful and witty of essayists.â âSan Francisco Examiner and Chronicle
âA lively record of an active inquiring mind.â âKirkus Reviews
