Download or read book Fodor s 98 San Francisco written by Fodor's and published by Fodor's. This book was released on 1997 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lia Purpura's daring new book of lyric essays, On Looking, is concerned with the aesthetics and ethics of seeing. In these elegantly wrought meditations, patterns and meanings emerge from confusion, the commonplace grows strange and complex, beauty reveals its flaws, and even the most repulsive object turns gorgeous. Purpura's hand is clearly guided by poetry and behaves unpredictably, wearing together, in one lit instance, sugar eggs, binoculars, and Emerson's words: "I like the silent church before the sermon begins."" "Purpura is writer-as-telescope, kaleidoscope, microscope, and mirror. As she says "By seeing I called to things, and in turn, things called me, applied me to their sight and we became each as treasure, startling to one another, and rare." This is, indeed, a rare and startling treasure of a book."--BOOK JACKET.
