In these short, easily digested essays, Paul Johnson says what academics and intellectuals dare not say, even if some of them secretly share these opinions - for example, that modern art is a sham; that many of the pre-Impressionist painters captured the qualilty of light better than the Impressionists did; that for excellent but reasonably-priced champaign you must buy Italian, not French; that the Mitterand regime was an elite coterie that cared nothing for the common people; that (in his wonderful words) “the great non-event of the 20th century was the Death of God.” Each essay is a gem. I hope Paul Johnson (who is now about 70) continues to write until he is 100.
