Quench Your Thirst with Salt

About this book

Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. "Part affecting memoir part lyric meditation on water part cultural critique but finally about all that is unquenchable in the human experience Nicole Walker has created a book that is truly sui generis. By turns wry elegiac and always elegant in its precision and force Walker investigates all that is contradictory and curious in the micro climate of her immediate family and the macro climate of Utah to create not a dry treatise not a windless flight of experimental prose but a natural history of thirst in all its manifestations at once compulsively readable and intensely personal."Robin Hemley
