Seeds

<p>Seeds reads like the best of a roundtable discussion amongst John Muir Bill Bryson and David Sedaris. From the fields of Gettysburg to the home of Kerouac Horan takes an unlikely premise and weaves it into a story that's poignant insightful and unexpectedly humorous. This is more than a book about seeds--it's about literary heroes forensic forestry and self-discovery. --Spike Carlsen author of <em>A Splintered History of Wood</em></p> <p><em>The Orchid Thief</em> meets <em>Botany of Desire</em> meets <em>Driving Einstein's Brain</em> in Richard Horan's <em>Seeds</em> the chronicle of one man's quest to understand the influence and impact of trees in American life and literature--and his mission to collect seeds from the homes of Kerouac Welty Wharton Kesey and twenty other authors to preserve the literary legacy of American forests for generations to come. </p>
