Unpredictable and uncanonical, Eliot Weinberger's essays are the
"outside stories" of cultural migrations. The fifteen pieces
collected here range from the history of the Salman Rushdie affair
to the dream of Atlantis, from the turf wars among ethnographic
filmmakers to the unlikely romance between poetry and espionage,
from the pilgrims in Plymouth to the students in Tiananmen Square.
Above all, Weinberger's concern is poetry--whether written in
medieval Baghdad or by Mexicans in Japan--and the perennially
underground yet global network through which it travels. With his
modernist sensibility and internationalist perspective,
Weinberger's inventive prose transports old myths and texts to the
strange realities of contemporary life.
