Like All Things is filled with excerpts from the author's journals, each one serving as poetry if you’ll let it. A collection of love letters, a deeply affectionate nod to San Francisco, and the author seeing herself through the tangible, all while feeling immense intimacy through it all. Even in the most prosaic of moments, the author finds herself allured by its mundanity, its ambiguous poetry, the way it is simply just striving to exist.
Nostalgia, fleeting moments and memories. Self portraits through the personalities of fruit, the gift of solitude, and the growing and mending relationship with the author's mother. This book will ignite and inspire your own memories while reminding you to revel in the act of spending time with yourself, and deeply appreciate the wondrous small pleasures that is all around us. Zigdon has an ability to open your eyes to the things that are often overlooked, and helps you keep them open.
Zigdon is gifted at natural awareness and has filled this book with a glimpse into her mind and sight, one that is too delicious not to read.
Nataly Zigdon’s writing is unlike any other. My heart breaks and soars at every new line. She has such an incredible way with words. In this collection of journal snippets, the reader gets to see the world through the eyes of someone who genuinely loves life. She brings life and a romanticism to everyday activities, from buying nectarines to the sounds of her mother’s jewelry. It’s honestly made me appreciate not only the little things but also time by myself. If you’re someone who struggles with being alone, read this and find the beauty in it.
