Anxious Am I?

“It is wonderful to saunter down paths of anxiety with Alan Block. They disappear under our feet as he first tentatively and then gloriously celebrates his love of the world. He finds it in ‘the sacred that inheres in daily life’ and in the music, literature, and philosophy that are his culture, not an isolated social or aesthetic practice but a language for feeling that informs his life and this memoir.”
