Lopez has always been interested in tearing down artificial divides between nature and culture, landscape and identity, and nowhere does he do so more powerfully than in About This Life. These essays cover ground from the remote (in the group of travel essays entitled "Out of Country") to the familiar ("Indwelling"), the personal to the archetypal ("Remembrance" and "An Opening Quartet"). Whether he's joyriding around the world with air cargo, performing burials for animals found dead by the side of the road, or lamenting the commodification of the American landscape, Lopez writes with a surgeon's precision, a musician's ear, and a painter's eye for beauty found in unexpected places.
"The narrative sings with conviction .... I enjoyed this rich book hugely." - The New York Times Book Review
"Lopez crosses disciplines the way he conquers continents." - The Wall Street Journal
"Contemplative and poetic, sometimes even mystical.-- Lopez feels a deep spiritual connection to the natural world."
- San Francisco Chronicle
