Book Reviews of Light's on at Signpost
Book Review: Like an embarassingly drunk uncle at a tea party...
Summary: 2 Stars
I genuinely enjoy reading Fraser's fiction and think "Quartered Safe Out of Here" is one of the great memoirs of World War II. However, this book is just one extended rant and ends up making Fraser look silly. The few times he scores points it is on easy targets. Most of the time he is simply trying too hard to be a curmudgeon. There is something pathetic about a wealthy white male feeling victimized by modern politics and one wonders, for all his railing against political correctness, if he doesn't have his own sacred cows that he never examined. Still, his anecdotes are funny and, as always, he writes beautifully.
