Polymath Jim Feast tackles, and subdues, the entire world of post-Bohemia with grit and tenderness, testifying at times like a real gone hipster who has replaced jive with emotional intelligence. He combines his phenomenal scholarship with his trademark devil-may-care penchant for the wrenching phrase; he writes the wrongs of our cultural amnesia.
