"I Believe" and other essays
Guy Thorne
241 pages~4 hr 48 min read9 chapters$4.99
Edwardian England gets a scolding from one of its bestselling novelists. Guy Thorne turns essayist here, taking aim at the cult of modern sport, the rewriting of Oxford's past, and the fires of Moloch consuming city life, with an address to wandering vagrom men thrown in. Opinionated, quotable, alarmed, and vivid. Pull up a chair and argue back.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
