O I have sailed the seas and come to B . . .

At his best, Gass reminds me of Montaigne. While the latter spent much of his time ruminating about Self, Gass essays his verbal prowess to inhabit Word--the logos made flesh. The later Wittgenstein also comes to mind. His seminal short story, "In the Heart of the Heart of the Country," was a tour de force, a literary work which bowled me over with its virtuosity with language. His essays, likewise, show a brilliant mind at work, pursuing obsessively words that make metaphysical of the quotidian.
