Yesterday I received a small, unexpected package in the mail. I was confused to see the return address was for Annie Dillard. The only Annie Dillard I know is “Annie Dillard the author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and other fabulous things”. [..] Inside, I found a short note saying, “For Alicia Farrell, From Annie Dillard”. I have no idea why or how Annie Dillard sent me this book, but I am grateful for the gift.

Dw i’n hoff iawn o’r syniad bod awdur fel Dillard yn treulio bach o’i hamser sbâr mynd trwy rhestrau Amazon, ac anfon copiau o’i llyfrau at bobl sydd eu heisiau. Mae’n bosibl, wrth gwrs, taw ffrind i’r blogwraig sy’n gyfrifol, ac nid Dillard ei hunan, ond mae’n well gen i gredu’r stori ar ei hwyneb.

Iawn ‘te, dyma’r syniad. Os nad ydych chi wedi darllen Pilgrim, rhowch fe ar eich rhestr Amazon chithau, gadewch nodyn fel hyn, a wna i ei brynu i chi.

Dim ond y person cyntaf, cofiwch.
