In the hands of Jon Peirce, a writer with a wicked imagination, strong social conscience, and a keen sense of the absurd, the time-honoured genre takes many different forms. The essays in this book range from short, rapier-like skewerings of political hypocrisy and injustice to a leisurely exploration of the metric system and its implications for writers. In between you will find many pieces that will make you laugh, a few that will make you cry, and some that will leave you shaking your head in wonderment.
