Convergences

August 28, 2006, 2:45 PM
Writer/art historian Lawrence Weschler, already known for his intriguing essays and accompanying diptychs demonstrating the "convergences" of otherwise unrelated images, is holding a contest in honor of/in order to publicize his new book, Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences, published by McSweeney's, publishers of the literary journal of the same name. My personal favorite is "Catskills Vagina" by Dan Clem. **If you reload this page enough times, you will catch one of my own "convergences" in my Random Scrapbook Page, circa 1998. **
