The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating
Author: Elisabeth Tova Bailey
191 pages
My rating: @@@@@ out of 5 !
The author is bedridden.
Her friends' gift of violets brought in from the woods includes a snail.
Slowly but certainly that little mollusk becomes her company, her comfort, her motivation.
A wonder-filled and gently told experience supported by information about snails from a variety of perspectives.
ART Note: Bailey recalls a visit to the Guggenheim in New York and considers its snail-like architecture! IF you Google the Guggenheim for images you will see what she means. :)
