Review: Outermost House
Outermost House by Henry BestonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It is obvious to compare this to Walden since, like Henry David Thoreau this author self-isolated in a remote home for reflection, appreciation of nature, and writing about it. I find Beston less philosophical and more poetic. His approach to nature, though, is while no less in awe and reverential is more scientific. He also engages directly with civilization with shipwrecks, occasional mail, welcome visitors and visiting, and the lives of the Coast Guard surfmen. The book recounts a season from Spring to Spring and touches on marine life, migratory birds, and makes the earliest complaint I know of against light pollution. Beston intentionally recounts the experience of the are through each of his senses.
