The first review for Andrew Weatherhead’s new book is out, and it’s a winner. Thanks to Scud for the thoughtful and on-point consideration. For instance:
And that, I think, comes to be the main thrust of Fudge: what it’s like to try to live a meaningful life in a world driven to senseless, consumerist distraction, often in the face of truly serious shit that warrants our full, sustained attention (e.g., terrorism, pandemics, being a compassionate adult).
—Scud
I like where we end up: the consideration of Weatherhead’s observations as “a funny, slightly sad friend; and as the world continues to be a speedy, confounding place, I’m grateful for its company.”
