A Place of My Own Audiobook (Free)

Michael Pollan’s unequaled ability to draw lines of connection between our everyday experiences-whether taking in, gardening, or building-and the natural world has been the foundation for the popular achievement of his many works of nonfiction, including the genre-defining bestsellers, The Botany of Desire, The Omnivore’s Problem and In Defense of Food. With this updated release of his previous book A LOCATION of MY VERY OWN, listeners can revisit the influenced, intelligent, and frequently hilarious story of Pollan’s realization of a room of his own-a little, solid wood hut, his “shelter for daydreams” – built with his admittedly unhandy hands. Inspired by both Thoreau and Mr. Blandings, A LOCATION of MY VERY OWN not only works to convey the history and meaning of all human building, it also marks the cable connections between our bodies, our minds, as well as the organic globe. “…an inspired deep breathing on the organic romantic relationship between space, the body, and the human being spirit.” – Francine du Plessix Gray
