Hal Howland picks up where his popular memoir The Human Drummer leaves off, discussing the aging process, art, books, business, censorship, drugs, drums and drummers, education, family, fashion, fear, film, history, Key West (the author's warm adopted hometown), music and musicians, opera, politics, religion, sex, travel, Washington, D.C. (Howland's chilly birthplace), writers and writing, and more with wit, insight, moral conviction, and self-effacing humor. Written at a crucial moment in American history and in the author's career, True West: A Cultural Reckoning examines where we as a society have been and where we might go, if only we could stop repeating our mistakes. A comprehensive bibliography and an index make True West a lively, readable reference work.
