Nothing Sacred, which is included in the collection Somewhere Else, is a compassionate examination of the roots of nihilism, first defined in Turgenev's novel, Fathers and Sons. And who but George Walker could cast this compassion as grounded in the audaciously absurd drama of impossibly contradictory sensibilities?
