Description
The Walled Garden is a unique collection of short essays addressing a wide variety of subjects. From an exploration of the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and Federico Fellini to an update on the linguistic theories of Ernest Fenollosa, from a look into the true nature of time and the present moment to a discussion of ‘psychic birthplaces’, from reflections on Paleolithic caves, poetry and art, The Walled Garden includes the wild, the tamed and the stunningly unusual.

Editorial Reviews
A small book with big ideas.
Apt613
Frutkin is a gifted writer who does not retreat from handling complex questions in order to provide some answers that the reader can either accept or debate. This is what makes a brilliant writer—allowing the reader to observe, think, accept or question—and Frutkin has done this eloquently in his new collection of essays.
New York Journal of Books
Filled with memorable poetic language, fascinating insights, and above all, connections among ideas and people that one expects from an accomplished writer and thinker.
