Far and Near: On Days Like These Reprint edition

Marc Notes: 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 honors, climbs mountains, composes and performs music. With passionate insight, wry humor, 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 a new introduction and conclusion in this beautifully designed collector's volume.; Issued also in electronic format. Biographical Note: Neil Peart is the drummer and lyricist of the legendary rock band Rush and the author of "Ghost Rider," "The Masked Rider," "Traveling Music," "Roadshow," "Far and Away," and, with Kevin J. Anderson, "Clockwork Angels."
