Can't wait to read the book. The author's essay "Walking on Water" is what inspired me to go to Istanbul and see the floor of the Agia Sofia for myself. I went on to write an article of my own under his and its inspiration: "Pavements Like the Sea and the Name of the Jokhang: King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba in Lhasa?"

Thanks for posting. I didn't know about your article, but I've now found it on academia, and will read to my instruction
Published by Yale, as I failed to point out (but the bag is in view behind me).
