Michael Pollan’s unequaled ability to draw lines of connection between our daily experiences-whether eating, gardening, or building-and the natural world continues to be the foundation for the popular achievement of his many works of nonfiction, including the genre-defining bestsellers, The Botany of Desire, The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Protection of Meals. With this updated model of his previous book A Place of My Own, listeners can revisit the inspired, intelligent, and often hilarious tale of Pollan’s realization of an area of his own-a small, wooden hut, his “shelter for daydreams” – built with his admittedly unhandy hands. Motivated by both Thoreau and Mr. Blandings, A LOCATION of MY VERY OWN not only works to convey the history and meaning of all human building, it also marks the cable connections between our anatomies, our minds, as well as the natural globe. “…an inspired deep breathing on the organic romantic relationship between space, the body, and the human spirit.” – Francine du Plessix Gray
