"A Desert Harvest renders Berger's travels across the Southwest and down through Baja California Sur with plenty of charm and a comic sense for the surreal , but it also leaps beyond: into questions of water use or the substance of time . The book places him among the best of past generations to write about the Southwest ." --Sean McCoy, The Los Angeles Times "Captures the myriad ways the southwest desert casts a spell ." -- National Geographic "Berger is a chronicler of desert life in all its forms, from the cactuses to life in the small towns of the Southwest. [ A Desert Harvest ] spans a career of over 30 years, leaving readers with an impressionistic picture of a distinctly American ecology ." -- The New York Times Book Review "When he hits the mark, there are few living writers more at home in desert country than Berger . Hit the mark he does here . Berger's essays in [ A Desert Harvest ] are pleasures to read.


" -- Kirkus Reviews " Cuts to the heart of the fierce and enduring attraction of the desert . A glowing appreciation for the landscape . radiates across Mr. Berger's A Desert Harvest , a sublime assortment of new and selected essays . [Berger's writing is] poised, magisterial." --Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal.
