Earth Island Books continues to amaze with great book releases with roots in punk rock and hardcore scene. This time, it is a collection of essays by Ray Stuart, guy who grew up in punk rock scene writing fanzines, reading, traveling and this book is a train of thoughts. Ray is actually describing situation in UK in last couple of years from his personal point of view, his stand about UK’s main themes like education, religion, Boris Johnson, Brexit, NHS, Covid lockdown and death of Queen Elizabeth and new King Charles and so on. I know, essays sometimes are boring to read but this collection is so personal, so great to read just like I am reading a fanzine with personal and political features in it. I learned a lot about the author through these essays and the book itself. So, it is time for you to check this one out and read for yourself some food for thoughts. Good one indeed.
