Widen The Area of Consciousness: Thoughts on the Eve of a National Election in America
The publishers’ displays of the national convention of an academic organization such as the American Academy of Religion, whose Annual Meeting is still in progress as I write this, are like the multitude of little cards suspended along the trails of Father Sogol’s laboratory in René Daumal’s novel Mount Analogue. Just walking through looking at titles without opening the books already suggests more essays than I have time to write, or you to read, even if you found them interesting. And it is not likely that you would find most, or any, of them interesting.
