Description: "... a genre-defying work of nature writing, literary nonfiction, and memoir that explores what happens when nature and the city intersect."--Provided by publisher.
Review Quotes: "A loving, deeply pleasurable, and sprawling investigation of place, community, personal history, and larger contexts. A Natural History of Empty Lots has the shape and liveliness of something organic, as if it has grown out of the neglected, teeming hidden places of the landscape Brown knows so well. An incredible book."
--Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize finalist, MacArthur Fellow, and award-winning author of The Book of Love
