"At heart Annie Dillard's work is a record of her search for God .
. . [and] For the Time Being is a brilliant book that . . . sums up
God more succinctly than she ever has before."
--David Bowman, "Salon Magazine"
"This uncommon book is a testament to a rare and redeeming
curiosity . . . an exhilarating, graceful roundelay of profound
questions and suppositions about the human adventure in nature. And
as always, reading Dillard makes this mind-expanding experience an
emotional one . . . with a voice blending clear-eyed factuality
with prismatic meditations on ineffable things."
--James Zug, "Outside Magazine"
"Writing as if on the edge of a precipice, staring over into the
abyss, Dillard offers a risk-taking, inspiring meditation on life,
death, birth, God, evil, eternity, the nuclear age and the human
predicament. Her razor-sharp lyricism hones this mind-expanding
existential scrapbook, which is imbued with the same spiritual
yearning, moral urgency and reverencek
