A collection of reviews, journal entries and what can only be called filler, released after what I consider to be his best book, Solomon Gursky Was Here. Even if it feels like a publishing obligation, it still works - the Richler style applied to sex manuals, vapid actresses and writing. The last piece, a collection of journal entries, is the best piece, and for fans, you can see Richler's mind already focusing on his next (and final book) Barney's Version. At his most shallow he's still better than many others, as this collection proves, and he's been missed.
