A lively and wide-ranging collection from David Bentley Hart, A Gathering of Leaves invites readers to rediscover the sheer joy of reading.
David Bentley Hart brings together reflections on everything from literature and music to baseball and tortoises in his newest book. The pieces roam freely in subject and tone--sometimes serious, sometimes playful--but are united by Hart's distinctive voice: witty, attentive, and unafraid of digression.
Rather than advancing a single argument or theme, Hart lets each essay follow its own path. Short notes sit alongside longer meditations; close readings give way to cultural commentary or unexpected enthusiasms. Hart focuses on the joys of style, observation, and thought in motion. A Gathering of Leaves is a book for readers who enjoy the art of the word--writing that informs and entertains, wanders and returns, and reminds us why reading itself remains a pleasure.
David Bentley Hart is a prolific theologian, philosopher, cultural commentator, and writer of fiction. He is the author and translator of over twenty-five books, including The Light of Tabor.
