San Francisco: North Point Press, 1988. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Original cloth, spine gilt, in pictorial dust jacket. Warmly inscribed and signed, "Rennie," by the author with his caricature self-portrait drawn both beside the signature and in the book's fore-edge. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
Six early "passion pieces" by Lawrence Weschler, "stories of people merely going about their everyday lives, when suddenly they seem to catch fire, becoming utterly obsessed and ending up somewhere entirely different from where they thought they were headed" (publisher's jacket description). The essays include portraits of English teacher Akumal Ramachander and reclusive painter Harold Shapinsky, cartoonist Art Spiegelman, Danish cheese exporter-turned-museum founder Knud Jensen, bookseller Leonard Durso, Russian avant garde conductor-turned-lexicographer Nicloas Sloniminsky, and artist J. S. G. Boggs (the creator and spender of his own paper currency about whom Weschler would write a full-length biography in 1988).
