Soaring With Fidel
David Gessner
A Book Sense Notable Title
"As Gessner pursues [the ospreys] down the Eastern Seaboard and even into Cuba with a BBC documentary team at his heels, a lively tale of fish-eating raptors, broken embargoes and a nail-biting race to the finish line ensues . . . Gessner finds his Mecca not in the thrilling launch or triumphant end of his own 7,000-mile migration, but in the living done in between."?Jennifer Winger, Nature Conservancy Magazine
"An engaging, lyrical guide to osprey migration, Cuba, and a common humanity."?Orion Magazine
"Gessner's finest book, unpredictable in the best way, and funny, too; an adventure book and much more?a book of contact by a writer who quickly becomes an audible and visible presence."?Clyde Edgerton, author of Solo
"An interesting and complex book . . . In a surprisingly short amount of time, David Gessner has evolved into one of our most accomplished and singular writers about nature. While many authors treat their experiences in nature with a hushed earnestness and a suspect neatness, Gessner writes about the messy humanness of being outside."?Mark Lynch, Bird Observer
"An ideal traveling companion and guide. Soaring with Fidel lets you hover for a while in the thermals of fine language, seeing the same old world from a fresh and invigorating altitude."?Ben Steelman, Wilmington (NC) Star-News
