Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen : Reflections at Sixty and Beyond
Xerxes has actually been asked to reprise his enthusiastic recommendation of Larry McMurtry's fascinating, rambling long essay. It is probably not so helpful to pick out passages to woo this book to those who have not read it. Suffice that McMurtry comes to grips with that time in life when the aquisition of knowledge begins to pale beside the understanding of it. Much wisdom here. Great insight and some wonderful laughs.
