Book Description:

Gary Saul Morson's ideas about life and literature have long inspired, annoyed, and provoked specialists and general readers. His work on "prosaics" (his coinage) argues that life's defining events are not grand but ordinary, and that the world's fundamental state is mess. Viewing time as a "field of possibilities", he maintains that contingency and freedom are real.
