The six essays in this collection were written over the years 2010-2012. Most of the essays are literary in nature. These touch on the works of Ernest Hemingwayhis tragic conservatismof Lionel Trilling, mentor to a generation of teachers of literature, and of Henry Miller. In the case of Miller, the essay is as much a critique of his social and spiritual values as literary. The essay on The Age of the Grand Hotel is a historical and social analysis of the part such hotels have played in the growthand declineof upper class society.
