Table Scraps and Other Essays

History & Biography

“Table Scraps is a memoir resolute in its beauty, achieving the impossible yet essential: it enters so wholly and gloriously into that region of immemorial love, both universal and entirely intimate, at once exile and Eden. James’s prose sings as it rises and dips along the many perfumed gardens of time, carving within us the prophetic, the holy, and the secret yet inimitable wisdom of the child. Here the invisible is visible, and grace is the experience.”
