As a boy, I loved their fiction, and only learned after I was well-immersed that they were as prolific with essays as they were with short stories. I promptly started buying their essay collections - \u003ci\u003eOf Time and Space and Other Things\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSleepless Nights in the Procrustean Bed\u003c\/i\u003e are excellent exemplars - and added that form to my long-term agenda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs I was becoming a journalist, I discovered Russell Baker, soon followed by Joan Didion and Hunter S. Thompson and a dozen other masters of the form. And in my years \u003ci\u003eas\u003c\/i\u003e a journalist, I invested great energy in it myself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection represents, I hope, my best. I've done many such collections before, and this one is as random as any of them, but I've taken care to omit the frivolous and incidental: this batch is intended to present the best I've managed to date. I hope it lives up to that intention!","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892812955799,"sku":"9798196112904","price":1017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798196112904.webp?v=1781189147","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/shouting-at-the-gods-essays-from-the-esoteric-hinterlands-9798196112904","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
