Profound and funny? Yes, Keizer can do it.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Garret Keizer is that rare philosopher who couples profound insights into what we are and how we interact with examples from our lives that clarify and convince. He's also very funny and a meticulous writer and grammarian. If you buy this book, you will lend it out over and over until it disappears into someone else's library and you'll have to buy another one. Read his book Help, if you haven't yet done so. He also writes regularly for Harper's Mgazine.
Powerfully beautiful in execution, style and scope

This important book touches on themes that quickly transcend, yet never betray, their parochial frame--a powerful work that moved this agnostic reader.
