Hi, it's Andy.
Hi, it's John.
Welcome to another archive show from Backlisted.
This week you're gonna hear uh an episode we recorded four years ago and it's about Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek by Annie Dillard.
Yeah, a Pulitzer Prize winner for non fiction in nineteen seventy four and we had a I think a really cracking pair of guests to discuss it.
Jeff Dyer, uh whose most recent book then was The Last Days of Roger Federer, but whose book Homework has been published I think last year and his memoir has got marvellous coverage.
Anyway, he's a massive Annie Dillard fan.
Almost as big an
Annie Dillard fan as the great Jay Griffiths, who's the author of Wild, An Elemental Journey.
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, I think, is one of those books that people discover at a certain moment in their lives and have plenty to say about it forever afterwards.
And this show definitely harvests that.
And there is a a a sadly a timely reason for us revisiting this episode, John, which is that Annie Dillard died
This week s in uh September twenty twenty six, which is when we're recording this, and so it seemed appropriate this.
She was eighty one.
I mean, which used to be a good innings, but now people I don't know, we always slightly expect it's a bit like Dolly, you know, we always expect people to live a little longer.
Not that I'm suggesting that Annie Dillard is in any way the Dolly Parton of uh d uh Stop Dilly
R religious na nature of writing.
Eighty is the new seventy.
There you go.
In a in a sort of gloomy way.
