About the book
The author draws on the work of biological and social scientists, psychoanalysts, and philosophers and interweaves fiction, poetry and personal stories, including some of her own, to argue that we are constantly dealing with issues of control.
First sentence: It seems foolish to speak of control when so many forces, inner and outer, have the power to sweep away our plans and dreams, when earthquakes and ice storms and plagues and wars, both literal and psychic, can undermine our dearest, most urgent intentions.
