Living to Prowl, Sam Pickering's ninth collection of essays, finds the acclaimed author walking familiar paths, taking time to enjoy family, friends, nature, and other simple pleasures. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike Pickering's earlier books, this collection records in highly personal and idiosyncratic terms a year in the life of a man with a tenacious commitment to pausing and wondering. Moving easily between humor and seriousness, the mundane and the philosophical, stark truth and evocative fictions, his essays saunter through life and rummage through lives. As Pickering himself puts it, Living to Prowl is meant to make people \"turn away from the 'razzleum-dazzleum' of dream and abstraction to see the rich greens and blues at their doorsteps.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820319407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.54w x 0.81d","brand":"Sam Pickering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52472754700469,"sku":"9780820319407","price":26.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_629ee509-3877-4b7b-bfda-830b4aea10e4.jpg?v=1777444293","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/living-to-prowl-9780820319407","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
