Description

The core theme of disassociation of feeling and aesthetic effect is explored in this collection of essays through several contexts-family, faith, art history, and sanctuary. Twenty autobiographical sketches provide unorthodox insight and perspective into everyday life and its deeper nuance. It includes an intriguing examination of the history, meaning, and present uses of a red-brick church in Wellington, New Zealand. Quirky and unusual, this book sets a new standard for the personal essay.

Anna Sanderson is the cofounder of the short-lived art-criticism magazine Monica. She is the author of many texts on the work of various artists.

Sophisticated, inventive, charming, and intellectually playful. An intriguing structure, an engrossing read, a critically astute piece of writing, and a mature accomplishment." - Ian Wedde
