Whether navigating the backroads of Louisiana or Thuringia, exploring
the snowy Quebec woods, or performing onstage at Rush concerts, Neil
Peart has stories to tell. His first volume in this series, Far and
Away, combined words and images to form an intimate, insightful
narrative that won many readers.
Now Far and Near brings together reflections from another three years
of an artist's life as he celebrates seasons, landscapes, and
characters; travels roads and trails; receives honours; climbs
mountains; composes and performs music. With passionate insight, wry
humour, and an adventurous spirit, once again Peart offers a collection
of open letters that take readers on the road, behind the scenes, and
into the inner workings of an ever-inquisitive mind.
These popular stories, originally posted on Peart's website, are now
collected and contextualized with an introduction and conclusion in this
beautifully designed collector's volume.
