Synopsis

Written over the past three years (2016 - 2019), Introduction, Discussion, Conclusion is a collection of essays ranging from social satire and literary review, to personal anecdote and occasional travelogue.Important questions are asked. Was Dracula creator Bram Stoker sexist? Should I watch the golf tournament at the Olympics? Is it possible to talk football and politics in the pub without getting into a fight? Do I sound like my dad?I carry out valuable research to discover whether hospital equipment can be used as a makeshift lie detector and look into the best ways to keep your new year's resolutions.When I find stolen property whilst out walking the dogs, I discover how unhelpful the police can be, and attempt to return some of it to its owner via a supermarket and a dental surgery. There are two Frank Drakes, lots of Magellan’s, Monty Python, George Orwell, Harry Potter and John Fowles, but there are no extra-terrestrials, although there are lots of Americans on St Lucia and I teach them how to swear properly.This is my world, and I have written much of it down. It doesn’t always make much sense, but I do with it what I can.
