|  | The Discovery of the Shadow by Roberto Casati
Taking cues from all manner of prose, ancient and new, THE SHADOW CLUB investigates the phenomenon of the shadow, what it is, and what it does, scientifically and culturally, in life. Casati, a researcher living in Paris, blends philosophy with mathematics, seasoned with a liberal usage of parable, in an effort to bring to light the very thing light never sees.
