No writer, I suspect, is altogether free of the hope that what he writes - or even only a sentence or phrase of it - will survive him. A bon mot remembered in a hundred years' time might justify an entire life.

In The Strut and Trade of Charms, Theodore Dalrymple continues his recent series of books that capture the thoughts inspired by his reading. The names of the books in this series are inspired by a Dylan Thomas poem, and as in Thomas's work, these books are filled with memorable turns of phrase. Whether Dalrymple is discussing a famous author, work or historical event, he always brings to the discussion his customary wit and wisdom. Readers will appreciate Dalrymple's unique insights as well as the quality of its expression.

Theodore Dalrymple is a retired doctor and psychiatrist who has written many books, including Life at the Bottom, Admirable Evasions and Not for Ambition or Bread.
