Sommario/riassunto

"The book has two parts. The first part is autobiographical and sketches the atypical early life of a future academic scholar from family poverty to marriage and divorce at nineteen, from eight years in big-city and federal law enforcement to starting college at the age of twenty-six, culminating with a doctoral fellowship in French Studies at Brown U. The second part presents an alternative critical look at contemporary life and ethos in general and American culture in particular. Fashioned from a journal I've kept since the events of 9/11, it consists primarily of my reflections and positions on a wide variety of philosophical, political, and cultural subjects, such as aging, nature, corporate capitalism, and American, French, and global cultures."--
