A review of "Letters to a Spiritual Seeker" by Henry David Thoreau
I'm not sure why in Walden's
name this collection has so rave reviews. Thoreau's unbearable prose is even more
pronounced in these letters than in “Walden”, even apart from the fact that
many of the letters are trivial rather than spiritual. Often, the editor's
explanatory introductions are more interesting! Two-thirds through, I had to
give this book a pass. Or a thoreau
trashing.
