On the way, the author analyzes celestial navigation: "The mortal enemy ... is the plain, dumb, silly mistake"; and discusses subjects as disparate as American literature, fatherhood and literary correspondence: "Everybody who has dominion over any kind of press space spends considerable time answering letters from convicted felons."
