“What is enthralling and illuminating about The Metaphysical Club is its portraits of individuals and their milieus. Menand is wonderfully deft at evoking a climate of ideas or a cultural sensibility, embodying it in a character, and moving his characters into and out of one another's lives.

And then they would crash to the ground where they would writhe in the bubbling tar until death released them from their physical misery.” RunningAbleParentSoundMiseryLegsAccidentsTinyBurningCrashLimbs Author:Martin Caidin
