Time's Bounty
Time's Bounty centers on the bounty that comes with aging as gift and as yield, like the yield (even when unwanted) of a crop we had not known we were sowing or reaping. What unexpected harvest has the passage of time brought forth? This little book seeks to answer honestly one big question: how do our lives change as we age?
PHILIP WEINSTEIN
Philip Weinstein grew up in the South, taught at Harvard and then at Swarthmore, and has written nine books of literary criticism. Much of his work focuses on William Faulkner, and his Becoming Faulkner received the Hugh Holman Award as the best book published on Southern literature in 2010.
Since then, his writing has turned from a professional audience to a more inclusive one. His essay "Soul-Error" was chosen for Best American Essays 2020.
That essay has blossomed into his new book of essays, entitled Soul-Error, that explore our gift and our curse: how we stubbornly misread--and creatively reread--ourselves and others as we move through our lives.
I've spent much of my life teaching literature,
writing about it, and speaking about it.
