Book Reviews of Errata: An Examined Life
Book Review: The trials of a trilingual
Summary: 5 Stars
An egregiously dazzling piece of writing from a man whose passion for thought and study glows incandescent. An autobiography of sorts but the details of his life are mere starting points for exploring some beautiful and enlightening ideas, which I personally found incredibly moving. His trashing of popular culture, reveals his pride, vanity and voracity for the Pantheon of high culture but his human qualities shine through. He has written his own book of Ecclesiastes and for him one lifetime is not enough it seems to learn what he needs to know; and still the big questions remain unanswered. A superb contribution to the sum of all things and almost an essential book.
