Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 256
By the Book is Ramona Koval’s love letter to books and writing. What is it about reading that we love so much? Why do books make our lives so much richer? Ramona Koval’s By the Book is about reading and living, and about the authors that have written themselves into her life- from Oliver Sacks to Oscar Wilde, Christina Stead to Grace Paley. It is about learning to read (and asking her mother to buy her a copy of the Kama Sutra), about love and science (and her childhood ambition to be Marie Curie), about arctic exploration (and her ruminations on what part of a husky she would eat if she had to), about poetry and travel and falling in love. In our book-devouring nation, this is a book for every avid reader and every avid listener who has been spellbound by Ramona’s interviews over the years. By the Book is quintessentially Ramona- warm, bright, erudite-unmissable.
