A collection of reflections, meditations, rejoinders, authorial asides...a decade's worth of responses to an increasingly fraught and chaotic world. Sometimes provocative, in other cases unabashedly cathartic, each brief entry designed to evoke a reaction in readers, inspire an inner debate that might just lead to a genuine epiphany or two.
Like the Moon, or Antarctica, or Detroit, Burns' mind is a fascinating, harrowing, haunting, and often beautiful place to visit. But you'd have to be crazy to want to live there.
This book appears short, at first, but I'd recommend you imbibe responsibly. Each passage, by their nature, demands room to mentally digest. To guzzle it all down too quickly (and trust me, you'll want to), would leave one hell of an existential hangover.
