These stories, which are often set in the crossroads state of Indiana, focus on the strange connections between fact and fiction. The first section of Seeing Eye is composed of brief monologues in a variety of voices on the themes of constant and continuing battle, both domestic and public. The second section consists of twelve fictional meditations narrated by former Vice President Dan Quayle, ruminating on the roles forced upon him by circumstance. The final section contains longer stories that record minutely the particulars of seeing and being seen. Martone's pieces are funny and quirky without being overly satiric; they often juxtapose a wide variety of images to create startling effects.
