An eclectic collection of fiction and nonfiction about art, travel, cinema and other joys.
Robert Walrod points in his writing to the ways that the world of fantasy and what we might call the real world overlap, indeed are one and the same. I liked in particular his pieces about modern retellings of the Odyssey. In the narratives of his own travels, too, the imagined lingers over the real, a fog that recedes with one's step but which fills the vision from a distance. The modern scientific project aimed at disillusionment, but we cannot help but imagine that which we do not know.
