Time's Passage: A Bystander's Reflections

by Robert Root

Time’s A Bystander’s Reflections collects fifty-two short contemplative essays responding to a range of the author’s reading, his Wisconsin home life, and his Florida retreats. The brief entries vary between moments of open memoir and compact contemplation of events. It records family experience, examines encounters with arts and letters, considers public affairs, and explores personal memories, locating both writer and reader as bystanders in a world simultaneously intimate and expansive.
