Sinopsis

In this essay collection, Michael Cohen tells us about his surprise encounter with the remains of Frida Kahlo, about his father?s murder, and about his son?s close shave with death on the highway. His subjects can be as commonplace as golfing with close friends, amateur astronomy, birding, or learning to fly at the age of sixty. But he asks difficult questions about how we are grounded in space and time, how we are affected by our names, how a healthy person can turn into a hypochondriac, and how we might commune with the dead. And throughout he measures, compares and interprets his experiences through the lens of six decades of reading. The tools of the writer?s trade fascinate him as do eateries in his small college town, male dress habits, American roads, and roadside shrines. He lives on the Blood River in Kentucky when he is not in the Tucson Mountains.Michael Cohen?s essays on the reading life are a treatáto read. Relaxed, personal, wide-ranging, they contain fascinating nuggets ofáinformation and lively assessments of hundreds of books, as well as a whole life?s worth of thoughtful rumination on time, love, travel,áandáfamily, as well as what it means to be, almostáexistentially,áa reader.- Christina Thompson, Editor, Harvard Review
