Sam Pickering Knihy

Sam Pickering píše v štýle známej eseje, kde jeho vtip, drsná priateľskosť a zmysel pre úžas, často s nádychom škodoradosti, presvitajú cez to, čo nazýva „priamymi, pracovnými vetami“. Jeho témy siahajú od poľných kvetov v Nórskom Švédsku po klebety z malého mesta v Tennessee a až po zatuchlé pózy univerzitného života. Pickeringove eseje, ako cvičenia v „pozlacovaní všedného“, objavujú jemné irónie, stavajú proti sebe potešenie a melanchóliu a túlavú sa ďaleko, ale vždy sa vracajú domov. Pickering vidí pravdu ako zloženinu, ktorú možno rozpliesť jazykom.
