"With the sensual, lyrical, accretive methods of a gifted essayist, Sobin puts forward a radical agenda: to enter the conversation between past and present, to place ourselves within 'the dialectic between two orders of time.'....What makes his essays brilliant is that he uses...information generated by statistics gatherers, but his prose conveys a personal passion. He illuminates extraordinary scenes of ingenuity and imagination, of striving for physical survival and seeking contact with the sacred. After reading this book one feels more humble to be modern, but more proud to be human."Sobin, Gustaf is the author of 'Luminous Debris Reflecting on Vestige in Provence and Languedoc' with ISBN 9780520222458 and ISBN 0520222458.
