Summary: In this "journal," the author focuses on those points in life where the everyday and the extraordinary intersect. From the war crimes tribunal in Bosnia to social issues such as poverty and AIDS; from the state of Iraq to the world's contrasting reactions to Princess Diana's death and the starkly brutal political murders that occurred at the same time; from a tear-gas attack on the subway to minute interactions with a clerk in a store: her observations map the world's fleeting and lasting impressions on the shape of inner life.
