Still Love in Strange Places: A Memoir"Kephart's transcendently lyrical prose (often compared to the work of Annie Dillard) has already made her a National Book Award finalist. In each of her memoirs she has written about love, looking beyond her own life to seek out universal truths. In this new work, illuminated with her own photographs, Kephart offers her testament to the ties that bind: the love - by choice - of a man, and the love - by necessity - of his homeland."--BOOK JACKET. |
