Description:
Welcome to the world of Jim Paul, a poet and medievalist whose winning balance of humor and erudition has charmed readers with such favorites as Catapult and What's Called Love. Here Paul takes on the City of Angels in a remarkable meditation that juxtaposes the events of a weekend visit to Los Angeles with key developments in centuries of Western philosophy. As he copes with a near-disastrous spill on his airplane flight, Paul drifts into a dazzling contemplation of such Western icons as Thomas Aquinas and Jessica Lange, Brecht, and Bob Fosse. The result is a captivating and very funny tour guide to the eccentric history of Western man -- and to the sharply tuned mind of a man whose power of perception defies description.
