In this collection of essays Liza Dalby takes the 72 seasonal units of an ancient Chinese almanac as seeds, and grows them into a year's journal, entwining personal experience, natural phenomena, and ruminations on the cultural aesthetics and preoccupations of China, Japan and California. Drawing connections between literature and nature, memory and experience, Dalby mines her experiences over the years she spent in Japan where she first went to live at the age of sixteen. EastWind Melts the Ice is a dazzling, wise and mosaic-like reflection on the world.
