Alan Jacobs is fond of the essay because it lets a writer do
something that more formal pieces of writing cannot: follow the
vagaries of the mind, let the writing follow its own path,
encountering surprises and fresh insights along the way.
In this new collection, Jacobs offers essays for companionable
wayfaring. To be a Christian, he says, is to be a wayfarer, to move
hopefully towards a cherished goal. These essays are a wayfarers
notes, a record of ideas and experiences encountered on the pilgrim
path. Gathered here are pieces serious and comic, eloquent and
interesting. Jacobs muses on the usefulness and dangers of
blogging, the art of dictionary making, the world of Harry Potter,
and an appreciation of trees. He also includes several book
reviews, including a wickedly witty poem.
With Wayfaring, Jacobs continues his tradition of exploring
Christian theology and experience by way of the essay, bringing
serious musings within reach of us all.
