The clarity of Robert Choulerton's writing, and his informal,
conversational style, make this book so accessible. It is a lucid
and candid release into words of the private thoughts of an
introvert - a compelling distillation of observations from a long
life of reserve and passivity. His introspective faculty is brought
to bear not only upon himself, but upon our species, Homo sapiens.
He contemplates humanity from so many perspectives - from the
parochial to the cosmic, from the wild to the civilized and from
the pious to the secular. Critical of himself as well as of others,
he never shies away from being contentious or polemical, but writes
with a pleasing mix of playfulness and sincerity, with a keen eye
for pretension and hypocrisy. With subject matter as various as
motherhood, religious faith, sexual attraction, sports,
multiculturalism, neighbourliness, sculpture and swear words, this
book would make an entertaining and provocative 'Reader' for
schools. It is full of human interest and educational value, full
of ideas for pupils to think about, debate, and write about the
very purposes, after all, for writing any book.
