Tom Weil: A Form of Infinite Play, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This is a companion volume to the author's 2021 travel reminiscence, A PLAY OF INFINITE FORMS. Although Tom Weil didn't consult his Journal before writing that book, many of the entries include themes, ideas and conclusions contained in the reminiscence. In that way the two books are related, but at the same time quite distinct. While A PLAY OF INFINITE FORMS deals with the author's wide-ranging travels over the last half century, the Journal consists of home-based thoughts over the same 50-year period on a wide range of topics rather than on places.

The good-natured and often humorous book covers a vast variety of stimulating observations and ideas-some of them rather eccentric or even quirky-which will inspire readers to view the world in novel ways. Those who read the piquant and quite digestible food-for-thought served in A FORM OF INFINITE PLAY will perceive their way of being with new perspectives, many of which occurred to the author when he was doing hand-stands and saw things upside down. From the usual and the visible Weil extracts some unusual, subtle and less obvious conclusions.
