Noted: Brenda Peterson's I Want to Be Left Behind
We’ve been meaning to mention here our old friend Brenda Peterson’s most recent memoir, I Want to Be Left Behind—Finding Rapture Here on Earth. As the jacket says, here you’ll find Fundamentalism meeting Deep Ecology.
Kirkus wrote, “Whether rabble-rousing at a Baptist summer camp or guarding seal pups by the Salish Sea, Peterson has a gift for describing her life’s many adventures with disarming understatement and narrative poise.”
Brenda’s most recent article for Orion, “Saving Seals,” published in our January/February 2008 issue, became part of this book.
Hardcover, Da Capo, $25 (but recently $16.13 at Amazon)
