Book Synopsis
Perspectives: a hypodermic needle, a difference between Florida and Berlin, a dive bar in New York,
a Kurdish emigration, too much mezcal, a Caribbean hurricane clean-up, a Chinese engineer in Dallas, a bed-ridden man dependent on the bottle, and a world-famous comedian.
The Five B’s: thirty-three summers of cricket, the consequence of chauvinism and testosterone, seventy years in the mind of a flawed genius, the triumphs and tragedies of a modern-day missionary in Liberia, and the experiences of those around the author with restrictions imposed in New Zealand and Norway during the first few months of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Additionally, Jameson Alex West revisits ten of his essays in The Cursed Bus and assesses their relevance since the pandemic emerged around the time the book was released.
A collection to offend and enlighten, in these 25 pieces, West once again questions the human condition, rails against political correctness, and makes us think, laugh and some us even cry
