The following article has recently appeared at the Atlantic Monthly website. The reason I'm bringing this to your attention? I have said in the past that the subject of Annie Dillard's master thesis was Walden . This article expands on that somewhat, " The Thoreau of the Suburbs ." It is well worth the read. Possible assignments may arise in the near future related to this article.
