HTML:<b>Winner of the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing<br /> Winner of the John Burroughs Medal<br /> Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award in Natural History Literature<br />  <br /> “Brilliant.” —<i>The New York Review of Books</i></b><br /> In a work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of closely observing nature, Elisabeth Tova Bailey shares an inspiring and intimate story of her encounter with a <i>Neohelix albolabris</i>—a common woodland snail.<br /> While an illness keeps her bedridden, Bailey watches a wild snail that has taken up residence on her nightstand. As a result, she discovers the solace and sense of wonder that this mysterious creature brings and comes to a greater understanding of her own place in the world.<br /> Intrigued by the snail’s molluscan anatomy, cryptic defenses, clear decision making, hydraulic locomotion, and courtship activities, Bailey becomes an astute and amused observer, offering a candid and engaging look into the curious life of this underappreciated small animal.<br /> <i>The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating</i> is a remarkable journey of survival and resilience, showing us how a small part of the natural world can illuminate our own human existence, while providing an appreciation of what it means to be fully alive.
