“Laird Hunt is a sentence writer in whose hand the sentences turn like prisms, reframing these essays’ collective horizon. It’s a collection of dazzling stuff. . . Masterly.”
—Garin Cycholl, Chicago Review of Books
“[Hunt] writes with a poetic sensibility, letting the metaphorical meaning and depth of his observations arise naturally out of his prose without laboring to extract them.”
—Kirkus
“A mysterious, often thrilling collection, beautifully done.”
—Carole Maso
“A kaleidoscope of genre-defying essays that leaves the reader frankly awestruck, This Wide Terraqueous World is a book to celebrate and treasure.”
—Bradford Morrow
“A stunning master class in both awareness and exquisite prose, This Wide Terraqueous World reminds us that Laird Hunt is one of the greatest writers of our time.”
—Selah Saterstrom
