This work touches on subjects as childhood, young murderers, and the use and abuse of stereotypes, modern biography, art, erotica, old and new, animals and man's assumed dominion over them, obsolete notions of integrity in business and government, and the machinery of dreaming. Enright explores such prose poets as Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and Freud, some curious points of theology, the penalties of imagination, and linguistic bizarrerie in sundry quarters. He looks into the world of books, contemporary Grub Street, the eccentricities of criticism, and the necessity and impracticability of censorship. He casts an eye over contemporary manners, an amused one on mishaps and misunderstandings, not least those affecting old age, and a sad one on our perversities and crimes and other marks of original sin. In so doing he gives us a "kind of" autobiography of a man whose life is inseparable from literature.
