“John Colman Wood's The Names of Things is a thoughtful, patient, and ultimately rewarding book. It's about, among many other things, the connections human beings make, that in spite of everything, we will always make. To quote from the book, 'What he saw in the people was what the old anthropologists called communitas. It wasn't that the people sang and moved. It was their singing and moving together' Singing and moving together, Wood has found a way to express this profound and beautiful idea through fiction.” PeopleWayHumansBookIdeasTogetherBeautifulMovingFoundNamesHuman BeingsFictionSawsSingingConnectionsMovedProfoundPatientWoodsThoughtfulSpiteAnthropologists Author:Peter Orner

Ideas lead you into the darkness.” IdeasRealityWould BeJusticeDarknessPerceptionConnectionsAccuratePerception Reality Author:Dave Sim
