Local notes

Alan McGlashan presents a sensitive view of the modern world and of time, of our memories and forgetfulness, joys and sorrows. He takes the reader on a safari into regions that are strange and yet familiar - into the savage and beautiful country of the mind. No "cures" are offered, but we are provoked to reflect on our roles and attitudes in the contemporary world jungle.

A remarkably complex and inspiring examination of the human mind with all it's paradoxes and eccentricities. I was completely swept along by this book, never wanting to put it down, so I feel like I only barely grasped the fundamentals of the points that McGlashan was trying to make.
