description: Perspectives: a hypodermic needle, a difference between Florida and Berlin, a dive bar in New York, a Kurdish emigration, too much mezcal, a Caribbean hurricane clean-up, a Chinese engineer in Dallas, a bed-ridden man dependent on the bottle, and a world-famous comedian.The Five B’s: thirty-three summers of cricket, the consequence of nihilism, chauvinism and testosterone, seventy years in the mind of a flawed genius, the triumphs and tragedies of a modern-day missionary in Liberia, and the experiences of those around the author with the lockdowns and restrictions imposed in New Zealand and Norway during the first few months of the Covid-19 pandemic.Furthermore, Jameson Alex West revisits ten of his essays in The Cursed Bus and assesses their relevance since the pandemic emerged around the time the book was released.A collection to offend and enlighten, in these 25 pieces, West once again questions the human condition, rails against political correctness, and makes us think, laugh, cringe – and some of us even cry.
