These essays are his grapeshot: aimed at the stupid, the pious, and the powerful, fired with a precision and a contempt that recalls Swift and Bierce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere you'll find a Berkeley Boomer who watched Reagan's California gut the public university and never forgave anyone. A man who went to Iraq to teach alongside Bush-Cheney true believers and came back to tell the tale. A literary assassin who dissected James Frey's fraud while every outlet in America was still applauding. A wanderer who drove from Seattle to Vancouver to feed the crows, and found in them what he couldn't find in any congregation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are essays about war, drugs, poverty, literary fraud, political hypocrisy, and the strange dignity of crows – written by a man who was too honest for academia, too literary for journalism, and too funny to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo the Crows\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for anyone who followed the eXile, the War Nerd, or Radio War Nerd – and for anyone who suspects the consensus was always wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67972548231404,"sku":"9798189459238","price":75.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9798189459238-to-the-crows-1.jpg?v=1793156981","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/to-the-crows-by-john-dolan-9798189459238","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
