  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;From a cuneiform tablet to a Chicago prison, from the depths of the cosmos to the text on our T-shirts, Lawrence Weschler finds strange connections wherever he looks. The farther one travels (through geography, through art, through science, through time), the more everything seems to converge &amp;#8212; at least, it does if you're looking through Weschler's giddy, brilliant eyes. Weschler combines his keen insights into art, his years of experience as a chronicler of the fall of Communism, and his triumphs and failures as the father of a teenage girl into a series of essays sure to illuminate, educate, and astound.&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

This is as interesting an art book as John Berger's <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q= Ways of Seeing" title=" Ways of Seeing"> Ways of Seeing</a>. I decided to give it another try and see if more of his eye for Convergences would sink in to my own mind. ]]></body>
