Anne Fadiman returns to her favorite genre with essays ranging in subject matter from her deceased frog, to archaic printer technology, to the fraught relationship between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his son Hartley.
Anne Fadiman consistently produces essays that are simultaneously erudite and entertaining. The seven pieces in Frog, covering subjects that include a not-so-beloved pet amphibian, the use of pronouns, and a pair of historical excursions, are more of these highly polished gems.
