Catching Life By The Throat

Josephine Hart | 2006 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"Hart was a wonderful novelist—she wrote Damage, which has been made into a film, but also Sin and Oblivion—but she used to host these wonderful poetry evenings, and we’d all come and read for her at the library. First, she’d talk, without notes, for about 45 minutes about an author. She was never dry or academic, and would find ways to humanize her subjects"

Worth the struggle

A classic of course. From an academic perspective, it is interesting to read this and look at the flaws caused by the limited knowledge at the time of writing. Without knowledge of DNA or genetics in general, there is a lot of guesswork here. But still this is a great book, and a great starting point for someone wanting to learn more about the world of evolution.
