Sinossi
A work in three parts, which starts with aphorisms in "How Not to Be a Ruminant," shifts to essays in "Weights and Counterweights," and concludes with poetry in "By the Metre." Some arguments appear in more than one section, and include nationalism, class, free will, religion, literature, and the arts, but the theme of human relationships runs through the entire book.

Recensione
... there is in Cameron's work a lingering spirituality, a faith that the something soulful and significant is present in the everyday, in the ordinary 'heroism of mortals' he writes of. On occasion this takes the form of scepticism about science's claim to be able to quantify and explain all experience. Like the philosopher John Gray, he is dubious about 'progress', political, economic, and scientific. - if Scottish literature has a true outsider, it is not Irvine Welsh: it's Allan Cameron. --Scottish Review of Books
... the new book has all of [Allan Cameron's] customary boldness of thought and range of interests, and is properly unafraid to raise the most fundamental issues. ... It is gratifyingly lucid and has many wise things to say. --Terry Eagleton
Up-to-date enough to include references to Project Fear, this stimulating book works its way up to an atheistic defence of religion and the biggie itself: free will. --The Herald
L'autore
Allan Cameron, who has lived in Nigeria, Bangladesh and Italy, and worked in various fields, now lives on Glasgow, where he writes, translates and runs his own publishing company Vagabond Voices, which is principally concerned with the translation and publication of European novels in English. His novels, The Golden Menagerie (a modern version of Apuleius's Golden Ass) and The Berlusconi Bonus (a political satire directed against the Neo-Cons and the ideas of Francis Fukuyama), were both published by Luath Press.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A work in three parts, Things Written starts with aphorisms in "How Not to Be a Ruminant", shifts to essays in "Weights and Counterweights", and concludes with poetry in "By the Metre". Some arguments appear in more than one section, and include nationalism, class, free will, religion, literature and the arts, but the theme of human relationships runs through the entire book, and is most closely examined with reference to the ideas of Martin Buber in a long essay entitled "Cats and Dogs, and Other Things We Cannot Understand". The back cover carries the following: "WARNING: This is a non-genre product and end-users may encounter forms and ideas to which they are allergic. Vagabond Voices Publishing Ltd, its board of directors, shareholders, parent company and/or subsidiaries advise end-users that they read this book entirely at their own risk." A miscellaneous work consisting of three sections: aphorisms, essays and poetry. It deals with Scottish independence, the arts, religion, class in modern Britain, and host of other issues. Some overlap between the subject matter in the three sections, so the different approaches produce slightly different understandings. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781908251275
