The American Eliot Weinberger is an intellectual of the highest order, able to talk with equal ease and depth about the economy of Kampuchea and the legendary Atlantis, about the literature of the East and the history of cinema. Comparing heterogeneous facts and drawing unexpected parallels between cultures, Weinberger achieves an unusual effect: the dry, ethereal information in his essay takes on color and volume, changing our understanding of the world around us and our place in it.
