"The Shell Collector is breathtaking.... Perilously beautiful."
--Boston Globe
"Anthony Doerr is a gifted and fearless new writer. He is
absolutely unafraid to take on the biggest themes of the human
condition, always writing about heroes and their various epic
journeys. The Shell Collector is unforgettable--not so much a book
of short stories as a book of short myths."--Elizabeth Gilbert,
author of Eat, Pray, Love
"Doerr's prose dazzles, his sinewy sentences blending the
naturalists' unswerving gaze with the poet's gift for
metaphor."--The New York Times Book Review
