Paperback, [EAN: 9780985769888], BooksWells LLC, BooksWells LLC, Book, [PU: BooksWells LLC], BooksWells LLC, "Veins and Grains" covers 135 different topics on humanity and is intended for a broad readership. The book both deals with human attributes (the way people think and behave) and possesses the aesthetic qualities of language and originality of tone and style. "Veins and Grains" has 300 pages but only fewer than 4,000 words. The author is a minimalist, metaphysical writer. She set out to lay bare the essence of her book's subject matter by doing away with all the nonessentials. The book uses very, very few words both to say as much as it can and to work together with the spirit of poetry as close as it can. It brings forth empathy and enlightenment through its words strung on a chain of rhythm, sound, and metaphor. The book itself tells no stories; it prompts the readers to listen to their own stories from within. Most chapters of this book hold two themes side by side to make for engaging reading; the paired themes hold either opposites or things in between in harmony again through sound and rhythm to enable the readers to look on our common vortex of paradoxes and absolutes with quietude and ease. There are first treatments of different subjects in the book although its subject matter is familiar and simple. "Veins and Grains" by Yih Laur blends together literature and philosophy through its originality, candor, succinctness, and beauty.
