About this listen

Whether navigating the backroads of Louisiana or Thuringia, exploring the snowy Quebec woods, or performing onstage at Rush concerts, Neil Peart has stories to tell. His first volume in this series, Far and Away, combined words and images to form an intimate, insightful narrative that won many fans. Now Far and Near brings together reflections from another three years of an artist's life as he celebrates seasons, landscapes, and characters; travels roads and trails; receives honors; climbs mountains; and composes and performs music. With passionate insight, wry humor, and an adventurous spirit, once again Peart offers a collection of open letters that take listeners on the road, behind the scenes, and into the inner workings of an ever-inquisitive mind. These popular stories, originally posted on Peart's website, are now collected and contextualized with an introduction and conclusion.

Neil Peart writes vividly about his life, experiences, musicianship, road trips and friends. Throughout he always manages to convey his genuine humility. I guess the only downside is that the text makes reference to many photos which aren’t present in Audibles recording/download. It’s a minor irritation which is compensated in part by the descriptions of the sights, sounds, and senesces which are conveyed in the explanatory text.
