What is the author's style in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard?

Dillard favors long complex sentences with multiple pauses, clauses and phrases. Her transitions at times are weak, and are only realized until the reader is done with the subsequent paragraph. This form, or seemingly lack of, lends the reader to feel like they are walking right alongside her at Tinker Creek listening to her tangential thoughts and how the elaborate connections she has made between the natural world of Tinker Creek to the modern world to science to God and metaphysics.
