description: In language extraordinarily lean and fresh, Axelrod suggests what it would be like to be truly alive to the nuance of events and to the declarations of those who are either in or out of power. The Cartographer's Melancholy is an insightful and moving guide to Axelrod's distinctive emotional terrain.
