Often containing reflections on the art of storytelling, Caryl Pagel's essays blend memoir, research, and reflection, and are driven by a desire to observe connections between the visual and the invisible. The narrator of Pagel's essays explores each enigma or encounter (a football coach's faked death, the faces of women walking, historical accounts of hallucinations, a city's public celebration gone wrong) as an intellectual detective ascending a labyrinthine tower of clues in pursuit of a solution to an unreachable problem: always curious, and with a sense of profound wonder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOut of Nowhere Into Nothing \u003c\/i\u003eis a sprawling, highly associative consideration of the ways in which the observed material world recalls us to larger narrative and aesthetic truths. Interspersed with documentary-style photographs, Pagel's first collection of prose is a radiant, obsessive investigation into the mysteries at the center of our seemingly mundane lives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caryl Pagel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1573661864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573661867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e F2c\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/06\/2020","brand":"Caryl Pagel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983402729727,"sku":"9781573661867","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2696c89-4645-4930-b8f0-eae153fbd028.jpg?v=1683266432","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-of-nowhere-into-nothing-caryl-pagel-9781573661867","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
