      abstract = {In his new collection of essays, Occasional Desire, David  Lazar meditates on random violence and vanished phone  booths, on the excessive relationship to jewelry that links  Kobe Bryant and Elizabeth Taylor, on Hitchcock, Francis  Bacon, and M. F. K. Fisher. He explores, in his  concentrically self-aware, amused, and ironic voice, what  it means to be occasionally aware that we are surviving by  our wits, and that our desires, ulterior or obvious, are  what keep us alive. Lazar also turns his attention on the  essay itself, affording us a three-dimensional look at the  craft and the art of reading and writing a literary form  that maps the world as it charts the peregrinations of the  mind.},
