ENDORSEMENTS "Mary Allen's effortlessly original voice addresses the reader with startling simplicity and moral clarity, whether she is introducing us to the tender friendship between a young woman and a celebrated octogenarian, or allowing us to see through her eyes the beautiful solemnity of monks at their devotions, or tracing her own strange citizenship in the liminal realm of a disrupted childhood and the years that follow. Simply put, read this book. Allen's beguiling and brilliant writing will leave you exhilarated." -Jo Ann Beard, author of Festival Days "A snarl of honeybees in a parcel at the post office evokes a mother's long-ago rage; a medical insurance crisis arises when a sister gives birth; past loves, an old man who was kind; Boston, Iowa City, Hawaii, speculations of the afterlife. The Deep Limitless Air tells a life of successive revelation, evolving wisdom. Mary Allen's prose has the freshness of the most optimistic morning. I adore this book." -Honor Moore, author of Our Revolution, A Mother and Daughter at Midcentury "Among the reasons I love The Deep Limitless Air is that its spirituality is so light-handed and matter-of-fact and barely distinguishable from the apprehension and appreciation of ordinary life, life both lived and recalled. Mary Allen writes about growing up with a rejecting mother, of lovers, partners, friends, and a procession of animals who summon her tender and respectful attention, of learning to bear the long silence of meditation and the joyful shout of the world. A beautiful, funny, warm, and heartbreaking book." -Peter Trachtenberg, author of Another Insane Devotion, On the Love of Cats and Persons Mary Allen is the author of The Rooms of Heaven , a literary memoir published by Alfred A. Knopf and Vintage Books.
