No post from the memoir this week. I've just arrived in New York--plane five hours late--and it's freezing; also brimming with Christmas cheer, something New York does better than anywhere else I know. Peace and joy to all.
SGB+, I dunno who you are. Maybe reveal yourself by email (to t-mc@pacbell.net). In any case New York was mainly to see godchildren (Moses Chapin, Amanda Nazario) and if-her-parents-would-take-the-trouble-then-she-would-be-our-goddaughter (but is in any case equally beloved) Lillan Epps. Also the Eggleston show at the Whitless was very very good. Also ate some very good food, chez Chapin and chez Lauren's aunt Julia (both Roast Beast) and at Bar Boulud. First Christmas ever without my father dominating the proceedings.
I am the author of The Grizzly Bear (Knopf, 1984), Nature First: Keeping Our Wild Places and Wild Creatures Wild (Roberts Rinehart, 1987), A Story of Deep Delight (Viking, 1990), The Return of the Wolf to Yellowstone (Holt, 1997; named by Amazon.com as one of the ten best nature books ever written) and Alice Waters and Chez Panisse: The Romantic, Impractical, Often Eccentric, Ultimately Brilliant Making of a Food Revolution (Penguin Press, 2007).
My essays, poems, reporting, and reviews have appeared in Audubon, The New Yorker, Natural History, High Country News, Town & Country, The New York Times (including the book review), The Washington Post, and Saveur. I wrote the PBS documentary Alexander Calder, which won a Peabody Award and an Emmy.
