Things People Say and Other Reflections on This Time and Place

Manfred Wolf, a longtime bold, original thinker, returns with a new collection of fearless, entertaining and often contrarian essays on a multitude of subjects. From the personal to the political, from "the righteousness mob" to the ramifications of giving advice, from our current cultural divide to the constantly evolving landscape of the way we speak now-Wolf examines each topic with his fierce, unique perspective, going beyond the easy clichés of conventional wisdom, whether it comes from the Left or the Right. Few readers will find their minds completely unchanged by these compelling and appealing explorations.
