Tinged with humour and urgency, weaving between reticence and revelation, Ian Johnstone's Making the Familiar Fresh pays homage to the tradition of Montaigne and Huxley while foregrounding contemporary environmental, cultural and social concerns.Ian's wide-ranging collection reveals the elasticity of the essay as an exploratory mode, as a space of freedom, imagination and possibility, and as a medium for envisioning new worlds and ways.
