Washington Post writer Gene Weingarten examines a random, “ordinary” day. The stories he relates are both nothing special and significantly moving. Most barely made it into the news. Searching behind the bare facts of murder, catastrophe, heroism, good fortune and despair, Weingarten discovers how events emerge from webs of connection, coincidence and chance to affect a community and generations to come. He’s a charming, captivating writer, with an eye for telling detail, a flair for dramatic narrative and a gift for complex, layered portraits.
