![]() Often, her stories revolve around a subtle dislocation, in which her characters can’t help but be surprised by the world. Like Eisenberg, Pearlman crafts densely wrought, at times elliptical, narratives that avoid easy epiphanies like Eisenberg also, she is comfortable with Europe or Latin America as a setting. Patchett compares Pearlman to John Updike and Alice Munro, but a more accurate analogue, I think, is Deborah Eisenberg. As I made my way through “Binocular Vision,” I kept stopping to read passages aloud to my wife, my friends, anyone who would listen. So often I wanted to stop and say to the audience, ‘Did you hear that? Do you understand how good this is?’” Patchett is not alone. ![]() “My only challenge,” acknowledges Ann Patchett in her charming introduction to “Binocular Vision,” describing the experience of reading one of Pearlman’s stories in public, “was to keep from interrupting myself as I read. ![]() ![]() At the same time, had I been familiar with Pearlman for all those years, I would have been deprived of the great joy of discovering her, the thrill of coming upon a writer with an eye, and a command of language, so acute. I’ll confess: I had never heard of Edith Pearlman before reading “Binocular Vision: New & Selected Stories,” a collection of 34 pieces of her short fiction going back more than three decades or so. ![]()

The complex spatial possibilities suggested by a fourth dimension, as well as by the curved space of non-Euclidean geometry, were the outgrowth of developments in early nineteenth-century geometry. However, in the first two decades of the twentieth century, the idea promulgated by Hinton and many others that space might possess a higher, unseen fourth dimension was the dominant intellectual influence. In the long run, Einstein’s influence was to be far greater than that of Hinton, revolutionizing scientific theory and, after about 1919, the world view of laymen as well. ![]() ![]() Einstein, on the other hand, was at the threshold of his own life’s work, in 1905 formulating the first of his many contributions to science, the Special Theory of Relativity. Hinton had published his last major book, The Fourth Dimension, in 1904, three years before his death at age fifty-four.
