  Contains writing on beaches of several locations. Each chapter of this book starts with attention to an object - a shell fragment of a pelican egg, or perhaps a jellyfish - and then widens into larger concerns: the persistence of habits, desire, disappointments, the lie of the perfectly preserved, the pleasures of aversions, and, transformations.
