Product Description:
Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of a short story collection, Pilgrims -- a finalistfor the PEN/Hemingway Award, and winner of the 1999 John C. Zacharis First BookAward from Ploughshares -- and a novel, Stern Men. A Pushcart Prize winner andNational Magazine Award-nominated journalist, she works as writer-at-large forGQ. Her journalism has been published in Harper's Bazaar, Spin, and The New YorkTimes Magazine, and her stories have appeared in Esquire, Story, and the ParisReview. At age seventeen, Eustace Conway, arguably thepinnacle of Americanmasculinity, left the comfortof his middle-class suburban home to live inthewoods. Back then he considered himself a manof destiny -- a true frontiersman,who, by example, could lead soulless consumer-happy Americans to a more naturalstate of existence. He hasn't succeeded -- despite twenty years of trying -- buthe hasn't given up. Below, Elizabeth Gilbert muses about what drives thisextraordinary man, and how meeting him changed her.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Pilgrims fulfills
I fell in love with Gilbert's writing from Eat, Pray, Love.This compilation of short stories did not disappoint.I had to stop between each story and rest a bit before starting the next because my brain would not let the previous story go.
Rating: - Pilgrims
The condition of the book was excellent.
I am a fan of Elizabeth Gilbert, however the open ended quality of this book left me a bit exasperated.
Rating:  - Pilgrims
This is an incredibly well written book, and Elizabeth Gilbert is my new hero.However, I like her other books much better.Eat, Love Pray is fabulous.
Rating: - Pilgrims
I expected more.I love Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love and I thought I would enjoy this one, but I was wrong.Her short stories went nowhere and had no real significance to them.The characters really didn't leave an lasting impression on me either.I was dissapointed with this book, however, I would still be interested to see what Gilbert puts out in the future.
Rating:  - Satisfying indeed.
A friend's interest in Gilbert spurned me to read this short story collection, which I found very enjoyable.Gilbert has a way of creating a very vivid scene and situation, so as to wrap your interest around the characters promptly.Then, naughty as it is, she ends her stories almost always leaving you to wonder how everything will play out.It's more that she's giving you a glimpse into another world, rather than relating a brief story from beginning to end.
