Be prepared for brilliant cornucopia of social comment, personal philosophy, , argument and reason. The author has such a take on life. He writes with a heady mix of first class wit, wicked humor and inner musings. A year is exquisitely observed with surprising revelations, starting on January 1st. Headlines, anecdotes, and habits. miracles, galaxies, sex, the halo effects, layers of clothing, a tight purple shirt, days, the weather, environmental issues, optimism and pessimism, a five letter word written on the blackboard in a lecture room. For me this brilliant book was like reading a script for a film noire. The pages "breaking waves" of social and personal comment. Future classics ate made of this. In an avant-garde way, the writing auteur: close-up , full frame, slow reveal, upbeat, daring and at times quietly introspective. The macro and micro of a diary of a year is revealed day by day to the reader. At times perhaps a hint of autobiographical. I can only guess. We are voyeurs to valuable thought. There are multi-ayers to this stylish writing. This is a book you could give as a gift to any reader and they would love it. The "faction", black humour and living philosophy, social and personal observations make a must read book.
