鈥淚 wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,鈥 said Henry
Thoreau in Walden. He stayed hungry. Wild Fruits, the last,
unfinished work of Concord鈥檚 eco-prophet, takes us through those moments in the
New England seasons when each native fruit鈥攈uckleberry, choke cherry, wild
grape鈥攔ipens. An acute, funny and intimate book, this is also, of course,
a trip into the mystic: Thoreau鈥檚 thickets, marshes and mountains are not just
nature鈥檚 supermarket, but a place of self-realisation. Edited by Bradley Dean,
W. W. Norton, $29.95, ISBN 0393047512.
