3.0

Interesting read. A collection of brief anecdotes and essays. There are some real highlights (Colin Tude and Michel Faber in particular) but the majority are a bit underwhelming and surprisingly repetitive (there are more countries in Europe that France you know).

All in all I'm glad I picked it up. It was, pleasantly, less political and more hopeful/reflective than I expected.
