It's a generous, deeply empathetic book filled with characters, stories and a remarkable tenderness--for the suffering and vulnerability of children, for the flawed adults they become. A father's delight in his daughter's wacky imagination finds a surprising echo in Cowan's brainy, sophisticated and witty speaker who can move from quantity theory to all manner of magical thinking and numerical rationalization in his restless questions, his attempts to make sense of a chaotic and troubling world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Cowan\u003c\/strong\u003e is a literature professor and dean at the City University of New York.
