Product Information
From the master chronicler of the marvelous and the confoundingauthor ofMr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonderhere is a much-anticipated new collection of more than twenty pieces from the past two decades, the majority of which have never before been gathered together in book form. Lawrence Weschler is not simply a superb reporter, essayist, and cultural observer; he is also an uncanny collector and connector of wonders. InVermeer in Bosnia, whether he is reporting on the aftermath of the Yugoslav wars (and noticing, for example, how centuries earlier Vermeer had had to invent the peace and serenity we so prize in his work today from a youth during which all of Europe had been as ravaged as Bosnia) or dissecting the special quality of light in his beloved hometown of Los Angeles, Weschler's perceptions are often startling, his insights both fresh and profound. Included here is Weschler's remarkable profile of Roman Polanskiwritten years before the release of The Pianist, yet all but predicting the director's confrontation with the Holocaust in that filmalongside an equally celebrated portrait of Ed Weinberger, a young designer crushed and yet hardly bowed by an extreme form of Parkinson's disease. Here is Weschler limning his own experience as the grandson of an eminent Weimar-era composer, and then as the befuddled father of an eminently fetching daughter. Here is Weschler on Art Spiegelman, David Hockney, Ed Kienholz, and Wislawa Szymborska. Here, in short, are some of the most dazzling pieces from Lawrence Weschler's own brimming cabinet of marvels.

Reviews
"A lush book. . . . Astonishing. . . . Weschler may be the finest writer in the United States." LA Weekly ASan Francisco ChronicleandSan Jose Mercury NewsBest Book of the Year ABloomsbury ReviewEditors' Favorite "There's no writer alive with more raw and contagious enthusiasm for the world. . . . Ravishing and utterly life-emboldening." Dave Eggers "Miraculous. . . . Excellentric. . . . Electrically precise. . . . Endlessly nuanced. . . . Layered. Mischievous. Faceted. Fun. . . . Weschler inspires envy." The New York Observer "Startling. . . . Promiscuously eclectic. . . . Weschler is an impossibly wide-ranging writer [and] a master of the journalistic profile." Chicago Tribune "Lambent. . . . Vivid. . . . Filigreed and moving. . . . A gorgeous collection." San Francisco Chronicle "Lively and provocative. . . . Wonderfully illuminating. . . . A surprising smorgasbord of delights. . . . [Weschler is] an erudite, enthusiastic observer of life." Los Angeles Times "Absorbing. . . . Weschler . . . has an unbeatable eyeand heart and writerly panachefor human oddity and invention." Entertainment Weekly "Luminous. . . . Exquisite. . . . Weschler is a master of the short form. . . . [He] pokes around in odd corners but always finds great stories of human experience. . . . [He] finds the 'edge' and freezes it for us in finely-sharpened prose." The Oregonian "Weschler is a national treasure . . . that rare cultural commentator whose keenly off-center perspectives and interests bring new meaning to the idea of 'the pleasure of the text.' " The Bloomsbury Review "Like a postmodern Scheherazade . . . Weschler spins yarns about everything under the sun. . . . [He has] a keen eye for connecting the dots we mere mortals can't, or won't, see . . . and writes generous prose that allows the reader to share in the author's serendipitous discoveries." Austin Chronicle "Weschler is a writer one wants to reads irrespective of what he is writing about. His marvelous essays are models of clarity of thought and subtlety of feelingand vice-versa.Vermeer in Bosniais nothing less than a sustained advertisement for the life of the mind." Geoff Dyer, author ofYoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered To Do It "A goldmine of excellent writing." Santa Cruz Sentinel "Brilliant. . . . Engrossing. . . . Compelling. . . . The essays . . . display a tremendous breadth and depth. . . . By simply connecting the dots, he creates a picture that others might not see. . . . Few readers can remain indifferent to Weschler's work." St. Petersburg Times "The Urban piece alone, was, for me, worth the price of admission." David Byrne "Graceful and illuminating." The Globe and Mail(Toronto) "A writer of wide-ranging passions from the quirky to the crucial. . . . Weschler [is] a literary renaissance and reconnaissance man keen on collecting and connecting, effectively reconciling and interrelating apparent disparities and disjunctions." San Diego Union Tribune "From his sad sanity on Yugoslavia's aftermath, to the most endearing argument for L.A. since the Beach Boys, Weschler gets around&
