Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is the story of a dramatic year in
Virginia's Roanoke Valley. Annie Dillard sets out to see what she
can see. What she sees are astonishing incidents of "beauty tangled
in a rapture with violence."
Her personal narrative highlights one year's exploration on foot
in the Virginia region through which Tinker Creek runs. In the
summer, Dillard stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave
mechanics; in the fall, she watches a monarch butterfly migration
and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects
pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake
skin, witnesses a flood, and plays King of the Meadow with a field
of grasshoppers. The result is an exhilarating tale of nature and
its seasons.
