Half-Safe by James Nestor
•••
"It had been four full months since Ben and his wife, Elinore, steered the tiny amphibious jeep they called Half-Safe into the frigid waters of Halifax Harbor and headed east toward Africa. It was the first time anyone had tried to circumnavigate the world by land and sea in a single vehicle, let alone one that was eight times smaller than any motorized boat that had ever crossed the Atlantic. It was a harebrained scheme, and the Carlins knew it. That was the point."

The Midwest Grotto Tradition
•••
"Art, in order to remain art, insists that we seek its ever-receding edge, that we ply the darknesses and brave the turbulence in order to wrest new ideas and forms from it. This may be equally true of faith. Turn once again to grotto become grotesque, and to grotesque as monstrous. Monster begins life in the notion of warning, finding relationships with words like admonition and premonition. Perhaps, while the Midwest grottoes are calls to worship, their role as calls to wonder, to dream and to imagine, are equally important in an age where we just might hand art — and all products of imagination — over to the machine."
