\n

Chris has written for Book Post on subjects as eclectic as\u00a0hunting<\/a>,\u00a0kites<\/a>,\u00a0Whitman<\/a>,\u00a0election days of yore<\/a>, and the Austrian fabulist\u00a0Adalbert Stifter<\/a>. He\u2019s a for-real scholar with books on\u00a0Emily Dickinson<\/a>,\u00a0Mark Twain<\/a>,\u00a0Harriet Beecher Stowe<\/a>,\u00a0Stephen Crane<\/a>, and\u00a0Kipling in America<\/a>, as well as a poet who\u2019s written a\u00a0family memoir<\/a>\u00a0about pottery, bohemia, and American wandering (plus\u00a0the Gilded Age\u2019s infatuation<\/a>\u00a0with Old Japan and introductions to books on\u00a0tea<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Lafcadio Hearne<\/a>).<\/p>\n

He thought\u00a0My \u00c1ntonia\u00a0would be just the right book for us to get us through February, and indeed in our book group poll last summer you all opted for a novel out of our literary past, plus, it\u2019s way shorter than\u00a0Middlemarch, for those who were too busy last time for such a big bite.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
