Title: A great read
Product review: This is a great read for anyone who's ever even thought about dreaming incurably -- as the subtitle puts it. It's the story of this guy, gary hudson, who wants to get a rocket launched into space by any means necessary. Weil is sort of amazing about getting us down to the desert, where the rocket is coming into being [everyone hopes] and all of these devoted workers are slaving away on it. And she's great at presenting the kind of contrast American life _always_ presents -- between the suggestion of infinite possibility, on the one hand, and, on the other, the dusty, brambly conditions of our actual lives. It's a very American story, and Weil tells it without vicarious shame for failure. Failure is what we're good at, here, as much as anything else.Anyway, it would be a good fit for anyone who likes the sensibility of, say, This American Life (which Weil has contributed to, the author's note says) or the New York Times Magazine.
