Jigsaw

<p><strong>Celebrated humorist and short-story writer M.A.C. Farrant’s new non-fiction work comprises ninety-three puzzle pieces that mimic the actual practice of assembling a jigsaw puzzle.</strong> By turns whimsical, insightful, meditative, funny, and factual, the “pieces” of <em>Jigsaw</em> touch on themes readers of the celebrated humorist and fiction writer M.A C. Farrant have encountered before: existence, love, joy, science, history, aging, roads, and Buddhism – and our seemingly universal love of jigsaw puzzles.</p><p>Once again, the author of the bestselling memoir <em>One Good Thing</em> and of the literary miniatures <em>The World Afloat</em>, <em>The Days</em>, and <em>The Great Happiness</em> writes against the prevailing zeitgeist of doom, accessing its flip side via humour and curiosity. <em>Jigsaw</em> is a much-needed mental respite that offers playful, rejuvenating potential answers to the dreaded question, How in the world are we going to get through these fearful times?</p>
