A passionate and thoughtful call to action on deeply troubling issues in Western society. For the past two decades, poet, essayist and psychiatrist Ron Charach has published letters and opinion pieces in all three major Canadian English-language newspapers.

In this, his first collection of non-fiction, Charach boldly takes on the issues that keep him up at night, as a person and as a doctor. From a dark tallying up of the human toll of gun violence, to a highly nuanced consideration of Jewish identity, along with a sprinkling of more humorous treatments of serious issues, this is an arresting and thought-provoking collection.
