Artifacts, Fiction and Memory : An Insidious Bouquet of Essays

By Donald L. Weismann

These 57 essays, ranging in character from the comical to the tragical and from the philosophical to the autobiographical, recount or invent ordinary happenings with respect too often reserved for the extraordinary. With a fine-tuned sense of the profound and the ridiculous, these essays move freely from the pedantic to the poetic with wit, erudition and a highly perceptive eye to the commonness of some of our most valuable experiences. A good share of these essays approach the form of whole, complete stories, others only an impressionistic view from a moving train window which ingratiatingly invites readers to participate in completing the view to his or her own satisfaction.
