Jim Borgman, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist, describes Lou Guntzelman's first book of essays So Heart and Mind Can Fill, as a conversation with a good friend about what it all means. The author continues that conversation in The Country Called Life, urging readers to be mindfully and passionately involved as they make the journey. Guntzelman asks readers to look anew at common things, taste the experiences and variations of life, and find in their midst meaning and wisdom.
