Political Writings
I picked up this book because John Leonard had a chapter on Bruce Chatwin, one of the few people that have written about Minaret of Djam (the other is Freya Stark). (If you know of more, please let me know, it's a new current obsession.)
While it shed no light on the Minaret of Djam, and it probably says something telling about me that I had no idea who John Leonard was and have never actually read more than half the authors he reviewed, the essays were pretty fascinating. Primo Levi was the first and the best (and also someone I have read) but I enjoyed his riffs on Mary McCarthy, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow and a really lovely smackdown of Bob Dylan, as well as some of his mash-ups.
But Part three, titled Lost Causes was where he really got rolling. Why Socialism Never Happened Here, Red, White, Blue Glitz.
He does write in the style I equate with Tom Wolfe and Herb Caen and his habit of appending everything with "-head" (greedhead, wisehead, etc)got on my nerves but it was a great read.
