In the words of one reader, Brian W. Fairbanks has a "real talent for extracting the essence of a given subject and... More > articulating it in a meaningful way."

In WRITINGS, the author collects some of his finest essays and criticism spanning the years 1991-2005 and covering four subjects: FILM, LITERATURE, MUSIC, and SOCIETY. Whether offering an insightful analysis of film noir, examining Benjamin Franklin's impact on American society, taking a clear-eyed, non-partisan look at democrats, republicans, the 2004 presidential campaign, George W. Bush, and the war on terror, or lambasting the corruption of television news, Brian W. Fairbanks is “ingenious” with "a sophisticated yet effortlessly readable style." < Less

ARE THE DOOMSAYERS RIGHT?

UNCUT!

It's as relevant and irreverent as it was in 1999. It's not about the bug.
