Quest: Articles, stories and essays by a master wordsmith - Paperback

by Russell Frank Atkinson (Author)

There is something in Quest for everyone, from the hilarious stories, Catsh22 and The Antipodean Pro-Leprechaun Society, to fine nature writing in Hampton, Plants and Sand Castles to social commentary in Upside/Downside or the interface of Nuclear Science and Indian Philosophy in Shiva and Science. So many issues are explored, such as the fact that Holes are Wholes, or the eyes, or the Soul, or sex in Subverting Paradigms and the mystery of identity in Who do I You think I am? Fascinating facts about ordinary old water in Water E=H₂O and deep ecological concerns in A Chat with Mother Nature. So there is fun to be had, things to be learnt, opinions challenged and the pure pleasure of reading very original prose that sometimes waxes lyrical or is elevated to verse.
