The answer is “NOW.” Here, Rex has selected
the best from thirty years of writing and speech-making – a variety
that reveals the range of his mind. Here you’ll find tributes
to people as apparently unlinked as Joey Smallwood and William
Shakespeare; book reviews that turn into instructive essays about
other places in other centuries; hard-hitting attacks on politicians
and other malefactors that will have you cheering as you read;
hilarious satires on human folly; and gentle memories of Newfoundland
and its people.
You will close this book with a sense of a wide-ranging intelligence
and fascinating mind at work.
