Summary
The New York Times bestselling author of Up in the Air and Blood Will Out embarks on a journey that begins with the death of his beloved mother - and ends in an inexplicable spiritual awakening.
After the utter grief of taking his mother off life support, Walter Kirn is compelled to understand his recurring visions of a Native American holy site. With his children and girlfriend, he follows them. In opening himself up to the mysticism he sees in religion, music, and nature, Walter discovers something magical and transcendent: solidarity and solace in the world around him.
Walter Kirn’s The Stones, the Crows, the Grass, the Moon is part of Missing, a collection of six true stories about finding, restoring, or accepting the losses that define our lives - from the mysterious to the inspiring. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

A fascinating, existential book.
I really like Walter Kirn’s grounded, open and slightly existential way of writing. There is something a little Hemingway esque about his style.
This is a deeply personal albeit unmelodramatic story about grief and the effects it took on the author and his family, with themes of spirituality that despite their seemingly other worldly content, come across as wholly realistic and grounded.
The end feels sudden, as I could have happily listened for a couple more hours. But it’s hopeful and quite beautiful too.
