The renowned literary critic and journalist creates in this book a unique, "stained-glass" picture of contemporary America. Dry names like "Automobile," "Bank," "Motel," "Restaurant," "Church," and "School" title fascinating essays on the semiotics of everyday life. At the same time they are not encyclopedic articles but short poems in prose. Inanimate objects are transformed into breathing, organic entities with which one may enter into a dramatic dialogue.
