简介
We spend more time than we know waiting for something, be it the bus, the acceptance of one's own theories, or death. Schweizer (English, Bucknell U.) presents a wide range of literary and philosophical texts that feature the joys and tortures of waiting, augmented by his own lucid, witty and thoroughly enjoyable commentary. Here we learn why Penelope fills her time waiting for Odysseus at her loom, why Vladimir and Estragon wait for someone they would not recognize, and why the philosopher Bergon is fascinated by a lump of sugar. We also get fine critiques of the writings of Croy, Rilke, Bishop and Carver, along with explanations of the power of the phenomenon of waiting and the reasons why most readers and critics refuse to consider it as integral to the text. Schweizer presents his own theories about waiting, and the result is good for both the psyche and the heart. Annotation 漏2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
