After ‘Pour Me’ I had to read this collection of his articles. His scope is huge: travel, food, refugees, hunting, vegetarians, TV, even the making of a porn film. It is fearless, perceptive, outrageous, funny, sad, uplifting, compassionate and controversial. But most of all it is thought provoking and makes you address your prejudices. In the words of one critic, he was ‘a golden writer. There was nothing he couldn’t illuminate with his dazzling prose.’ I absolutely agree.
