David Solway is one of this generation's leading chroniclers-and one of its most penetrating analysts and humorists.
In this collection of timely, elegantly written, and often strikingly astute essays, Solway's moral imperatives are the foundations of each chapter. With a broad palette of subjects that he works like some epistolary Chagall or Mondrian, Solway juggles these items with finesse: snobby artists abusing art on the public dole, Donald Trump, Feminists, Hockey, Stephen Hawking, the ins and outs of being in and out of academic philosophy; the corruption and collapse of western academics; the viciously biased and inaccurate fake media coverage of Israel, and the false compassion of the political left, just to name a few.
A realist and pragmatist, Solway relies on his excellent eye for detail, his insightful thinking process, and his gift with words and stories to present this important and entertaining collection of prose (with some prose about poetry, too, for good measure). You will be challenged and entertained-and you'll learn some things, as well.
David Solway is a rare writer with exceptional authorial and observational skills. The result is a very special collection of essays that will stay in your thoughts long after the last page is devoured.
