Adrift: Life in TransitADRIFT reads like an autobiographical time capsule, a treasure trove of personal recollections, historical events and candid, often caustic ruminations on the human condition, the press and America. A seasoned journalist, the author challenges preconceived notions and casts a cunning, often savage eye at cherished beliefs and conventions as he himself struggles to find his place in an ill-fitting world. |
