Bermuda shorts

Summary: In clothing, Bermuda shorts are a kind of casual formal wear--and in this collection of essays, Bermuda shorts is the perfect metaphor for James J. Patterson's fundamentally serious but playful literary style. Patterson writes like the love child of Henry Miller and Mary Karr, with all the contradictions that implies--a philosopher who thinks best over a glass of fine wine; an ex-Catholic still haunted by the image of the Crucifiction; an irreverent political satirist whose patriotism flies the flag of another iconoclast, Thomas Paine.
