The End of the End of the Earth by Jonathan Franzen

3.0

I know Mr. Franzen is polarizing at best and infuriating to many, but the man can write, and he loves birds. I enjoyed this collection of essays, many of which were about birds or birding, many of which touched on the all-too-real issue of climate change and how it is affecting the world-- people and places outside the US (gasp) and species other than humans (gasp). Other essays poignantly introduced us to family members, introspectively talked about 9/11, and showed proper respect for William Vollman and Edith Wharton. A good collection overall.
