So Much Depends Upon...: An Anthology

Behold the egg! Smooth, rounded, perfectly formed, fragile, its glowing center suspended in a malleable, translucent penumbra. The same might be said of these thirty-five memoirs in which the past--formed at the fragile nexus, the malleable boundary of memory and imagination--is suspended in prose, contained in an essay. You have but to crack open this book.

So much depends on the tools. A worker without tools is like a myth without a ritual.
