I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of fed up with realism. After all, there’s enough reality already; why make more of it? Why not leave realism for the memoirs of drug addicts, the histories of salt, the biographies of porn stars? Why must we continue to read about the travails of divorced people or mildly depressed Canadians when we could be contemplating the shopping habits of zombies, or the difficulties that ensue when living and dead people marry each other?

tawny grammar is a notebook of nature and culture on the web and in the wild, kept by Steve Himmer. The name comes from Thoreau's essay "Walking", and the image above is the Bruder Klaus Field Chapel.
