Overview

The text of plain sight relentlessly questions notions of thinking and being, setting out various propositions about life, thought, and perception in a way that persuades not merely with argument, but with music. The resulting experience is a thrilling "" excavation of the nous,"" drawing us into a realm where point of view, connotation, misdirection, and other rhetorical and prestidigitational devices are deployed in a tender but unyielding attack on the illusions we share. It also manages to be a really useful advice book where "" [p]rophetic murmurs sough from every roadside gulch."" And then, again, there is the music- the sound of words taking off into an infinite perspective of thought. That the reader gets to fly along is the pleasure and triumph of plain sight. - Laura Moriarty
