John McPhee/Writing Style

Abstract: A 3 page essay that examines the writing style of John McPhee in his books Oranges and The Pine Barrens. In these texts, McPhee picks one topic that is as common as grass and one that is so esoteric that most people --outside of New Jersey--have never heard of it. He reports on both in a friendly, conversational style that seems to say to his readers, "This is really interesting" and, largely due to his writing style, readers agree with this assessment. No additional sources cited.
