The second section collects Weinberger's essays on a wide range of subjectssome of which have been published in Harper's, New York Review of Books, and London Review of Booksincluding his notorious review of George W. Bush's memoir Decision Points and writings about Mongolian art and poetry, different versions of the Buddha, American Indophilia (There is a line, however jagged, from pseudo-Hinduism to Malcolm X), Béla Balázs, Herbert Read, and Charles Reznikoff.
