Is it time to negotiate with bin Laden? Is lying about sex ever-or
perhaps often-a good idea? To what extent do religion and culture
shape the ways in which we communicate? What is the mysterious
syndrome called CHOIS, with which many long-time pessimists
suddenly find themselves diagnosed? Delve into this intriguing
collection to find out the answers to these questions, and many
more. In Almost a Foreign Country, a collection of columns,
articles and aphorisms, Manfred Wolf brings his unique perspective
to bear on a broad range of aspects characterizing our current
reality and the way we live now. From love and the relationships
between men and women to time and aging, from current political and
social issues to the ever-changing face of language-Wolf tackles
them all, often combining humor with a sharp, somber perception of
the issues that concern us all. His point of view is always
unflinching, original, and unapologetic. Manfred Wolf is a
university professor, a widely published writer and a world
traveler who has spent time in several very different cultures.
Almost a Foreign Country provides its readers the unique
opportunity to spend some time in his company and enjoy the many
pleasures of his experience, wit, and always fascinating opinions.
