To see the selection collected here, it is clear why. Possessed of a singular, sympathetic intelligence, he has, in these crystalline meditations--these daily devotions--produced a work of strange and enduring wonder. Nunokawa is a teacher in the best sense: he shows how literature can weave itself into a life, and how a life might better be lived when enhanced by the supple, tensile strength that literature alone can offer.\"\u003cb\u003e--Rebecca Mead, author of \u003ci\u003eMy Life in Middlemarch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eNote Book\u003c\/i\u003e allows us to see a human being unfolding and finding his way--in writing and, apparently, not only there. It's as though Nunokawa has figured out a way to make the internet--and social media in particular--show off all its best attributes, without falling into its many traps. This is radically awakened--and awakening--writing.\"\u003cb\u003e--Jody Greene, University of California, Santa Cruz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a remarkable book. The reader can see levels of self-reflective thoughtfulness developing as Nunokawa changes through the experience of his writing, and writes about the experience of those changes. It's a wonderful thing to observe.\"\u003cb\u003e--William Flesch, Brandeis University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45268575256727,"sku":"9780691166490","price":1940.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780691166490.webp?v=1769236155","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/note-book-9780691166490","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
