Items related to Into Woods
Into Woods is an exuberant, profound, and often wonderfully funny account of ten years in the life of author Bill Roorbach. A paean to nature, love, family, and place, it begins with his honeymoon on a wine farm in France's Loire Valley and closes with the birth of his daughter and he and his wife's return to their beloved Maine. These essays blend journalism, memoir, personal narrative, nature writing, cultural criticism, and insight into a flowing narrative of place, a meditation on being and belonging, love and death, wonder and foreboding.

About the Author:
Bill Roorbach is the author of the O’Henry Award-winning story collection Big Bend, as well of the novels The Smallest Color, Life among Giants, and The Remedy for Love. He also wrote the memoir, Summerswith Juliet and the essay collection Into Woods. His work has appeared in numerous publications, including TheAtlantic, Harper’s Monthly, Granta, and the NewYork Times magazine. He lives with his family in Farmington, Maine.
From Library Journal:
Fiction writer Roorbach's first collection of personal essays, Summers with Juliet, traced his courtship of his wife and ended with their wedding. Into Woods continues their story, moving from the honeymoon to university teaching to settling in Maine. Roorbach's writing continues to be that freewheeling mixture of nature writing, personal detail, humor, philosophy, and social commentary that makes his personal essays unique. His self-deprecating humor is especially evident in "Honeymoon," an essay describing the couple's time in France, where his landlords, a farm family, love Juliet but snub her idle writer husband. The strain on the family caused by moving for jobs is a theme of the final essay, "My Life as a Move," in which the author describes giving up "probably the best creative writing job in America" to pursue a dream, find a home, and raise the couple's child. Roorbach won the 2001 Flannery O'Connor Award in short fiction for Big Bend: Stories. Recommended for both public and academic libraries. Nancy P. Shires, East Carolina Univ., Greenville, NC
