Of Philosophers and Fools is a book that seeks to capture the awe and mystery that surrounds an individual as they embark upon their philosophical search, simply displaying how the burden of truth weighs along certain men's shoulders. Like any book, it is but a record of all the things that one particular man has learned throughout his life. While the book does track upon the paths of philosophy, sociology, linguistics, and education, the themes constantly circulate around that of the "truth-seeker"-the wanderer that casually moves about his way.
C.J. Cala is an author who favors the realm of the fairies, making much of his work a mystic mystery to most as he gropes blindly before the veil, grasping at the grail, attempting to touch the gate of Tannhäuser.
