Visions from San Francisco Bay [Paperback]

Interrelated essays by the Nobel Laureate on his adopted home of California, which Lewis Hyde, writing inThe Nation, called remarkable, morally serious and thought-provoking essays, which strive to lay aside the barren categories by which we have understood and judged our state . . . Their subject is the frailty of modern civilization.
