Whatever Else They Say

About the Book

In this new collection of his characteristically irreverent and wistful essays, Richard Harsham probes the depths of the American psyche and presides over the incongruous American Conscience wherein the tug-and-pull of conflicting interests turns many a striver into a flagrant hypocrite who says and counsels one thing for everyone else while turning around and darn well doing another thing for themself alone. Increasingly in these pent-up times, those who "mouth off" without first waiting to be "called upon" pay a steep price for blurting out. And Harsham reminds us all that America patriot among patriots--Tom Paine--raised his voice to the rafters so that Providence might both heed and nourish the American aspiration: the reign of freedom...whether by thought or deed. The memoir pieces contained in this new collection of Richard Harsham's essays are a delectable icing on the cake.
