In this mannered tour through literature, sports, film and daily life, Barry Morrow leads us to contemplate the nature and purpose of human longing. Using Ecclesiastes as a map for the journey, Morrow gives us a vision of our disenchantment ‘under the sun’ and suggests that human culture—our work, art and play—gives evidence of another reality for which God created us.
