In his second collection of essays Vivian finds his occasions in midwestern towns and European cities. He looks for&;and sometimes stumbles upon&;the spiritual significance of circumstances and places and those who inhabit them, from the Jewish dead in a long-neglected cemetery in Poland to a dog slaughtered on a highway fronting the Black Sea to gunshots ringing out in rural Michigan. Again and again Vivian probes what such phenomena suggest about the times we live in&;and what they share with every time that ever was.
