"The weighty intimations of myth on these pages are leavened by the book's beautifully prosaic and practical accounts of porch architecture. There could hardly be a more timely book when breathing walls, like bodies, are places where experiences of necessity meet those of freedom."-- "David Leatherbarrow, University of Pennsylvania" "The Porch displays the best traits of university press books: an enormous body of research, backed by years of careful engagement with intellectual and cultural history, and a faith that the world is worth close consideration. Hailey's prose is patient and deliberate, the mood reverent and ready for wonder. He has written an extraordinary book--literary and philosophical, sensuous and wise--a book with which to confront our changing world." -- "Daegan Miller, author of 'This Radical Land'"
