Phoenix's new urge for culture is part of the national tidal wave that has nearly doubled museum space since World War II, has found art societies and institutes sprouting in towns that once would have been hard pressed to support a framing shop.

Sleeping and waking are the tidal rhythms of a child's life. Awake, Serioja tags after older boys to the forest for a piratical, burnt-finger feast of baked potatoes and onions. Asleep, he is sprawled in his bed with an impish mop of blond hair and slightly open mouth ("He's saving...
