George Saunders👍 Recommends
…book recommendation as meditative antidote to speed of modern life and technology
“And then the third one would be maybe more of an antidote. It's a beautiful book called The Place of Tides by James Rebanks, nonfiction. And he goes to an island, I think it's off Iceland, and he lives with this woman who is, her job is to collect Eiderdown. And there's an elaborate process where you lure the ducks in by being very quiet, basically, and setting up little environments that they'll like.”
