Loren Eisley

My favorite author of all time. I love his prose. I lived in his stories for many days during and after reading his books. There is not a big collection of writing by him, but what exsists is truly worth reading, for prose that will stop you in your tracks, and make you think about the beauty of the words. Here is one link to copy in to your browser.

Comments from the reviewers of The Invisible Pyramid. .

His writing delivered science to nonscientists in the lyrical language of earthly metaphor, irony, simile, and narrative, all paced like a good mystery."—The Bloomsbury Review


New York Times Book Review :
"A relentless haunting and haunted figure devils the man [Eiseley] and twists from him some of the best prose we have.
