All my adult life, his books have been a refuge from (in order of era)

Conspicuous consumption

Boomer narcissism

Yuppies

Reaganomics .........

Fundamentalism , extreme Christianity

Class warfare

White supremacy

........

More recently he has laser focused on

Societal roles

Nuerodivergence

Scalding the hell out of Trump and maggats

He's literally a moral and ethical compass for many and can reach us when we are young.

As he and I have aged, he's literally been a comfort in the way he writes about our actual ghosts snd what haunts us.

He's brilliant ,I'm a huge fan can you tell? Cheers
