N. D. Wilson Bundle: Author's Collection Edition
Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl
In 2009, when best-selling fantasy novelist, N.D. Wilson dipped out of mainstream success to publish Notes from the Tilt-a-whirl as his intensely personal "manifesto of faith," a new genre was born. Committed to writing poetic and percussive prose that would impact the whole reader, enfleshing meaning with both comic and profound artistry, Wilson set out to write a book that would pry open eyes and startle readers into a joyful new way of seeing the world around them, a way filled with laughter and gratitude for all of God's raucous carnival artistry.
The performative and experimental prose accomplished Wilson's goal, and in the fifteen years since its first publication, Notesc ontinues to impact readers and writers worldwide. Often imitated, but never duplicated, Notes from the Tilt-a-whirl and Wilson's companion volume, Death by Living, remain the benchmark for creative, Christian nonfiction.
Death by Living
When N.D. Wilson published Death by Living in 2013, fans of Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl weren't sure how Wilson would expand on the visionary themes found in Notes. Where Notes majored on seeing the world and the self rightly in relationship to God and His creation, Death by Living explored the relationship of God's mortal characters to death, time, and each other, especially across the complex grace of generations. How do we approach challenges and struggles, and ultimately the struggle of mortality, faithfully? How does a rightly ordered view of mortality and the fleeting nature of time impact daily gratitude and faithfulness? How do faithful men and women, ultimately, die of having lived? Wilson's celebration of mortality and gratitude, woven in and around comic scenes and powerful and personal sketches, was immediately acclaimed.
Hailed as Book of the Year by Christianity Today and a better contemplation of time than that found in St. Augustine by another critic, Death by Living quickly found new fans all its own. Written at the same time as Wilson's "Ashtown Burials" series, in which Wilson explored many of the same themes in fiction, Death by Living has become a contemporary Christian classic in the decade since its first printing.
We stand in the now. God says create. Live. Choose. Shape the past. Etch your life in stone, and what you make will be forever.
