Celebrated humorist and short-story writer M.A.C. Farrant¿s new non-fiction, genre-blended work comprises ninety-three (and a half, technically) puzzle pieces that mimic the actual practice of assembling a jigsaw puzzle. By turns whimsical, insightful, meditative, funny, and factual, the ¿pieces¿ of Jigsaw touch on several themes which readers of Farrant have encountered before: existence, love, joy, science, history, aging, roads, and Buddhism ¿ and our universal love of jigsaw puzzles.Once again, the author of the bestselling memoir One Good Thing and of the literary ¿miniatures¿ The World Afloat, The Days, and The Great Happiness writes against the prevailing zeitgeist of doom by attempting to provide its aesthetic flip side ¿ using humour and curiosity. Jigsaw acts as a much-needed mental aid and offers potential, playful, rejuvenating answers to the dreaded question: How in the world are we going to get through these fearful times?
