What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a "literary supercut" that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction's traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama.

Kathryn Scanlan’s Kick the Latch vividly captures the arc of one woman’s life at the racetrack—the flat land and ramshackle backstretch; the bad feelings and friction; the winner’s circle and the racetrack bar; the fancy suits and fancy boots; and the “particular language” of “grooms, jockeys, trainers, racing secretaries, stewards, pony people, hotwalkers, everybody”—with economy and integrity. Whittled down with a singular artistry, Kick the Latch bangs out of the starting gate and carries the listener on a careening joyride around the inside track.

Le lumache che vivono nel prato chiamato Paese del Dente di Leone, sotto la frondosa pianta del calicanto, sono abituate a condurre una vita lenta e silenziosa, a nascondersi dallo sguardo avido degli altri animali, e a chiamarsi tra loro semplicemente "lumaca". Una di loro, però, trova ingiusto non avere un nome, e soprattutto è curiosa di scoprire le ragioni della lentezza.
