Rezensionen

This isn't a historical survey of gardening, much less a practical guide, so much as an inquiry into the idea of the garden - its history and poetics, its relationship to sex, imagination and power. Laing belongs in an as-yet-undefined and perhaps undefinable class of prose artists who blend feeling and analysis, speculation and research, wit and instruction as they track down the elusive patterns and inescapable contradictions of modern experience New York Times
