Tell It Like It Is Lyn Clarke

This collage of stories, views and opinions is typical of the straight from the shoulder, no nonsense, type of writing that we have come to expect from the author. In some chapters his empathy for personal friends and local traditions is clear and sincere. This is cleverly balanced by his frustration, concerning certain current events and the political dilemma that these have caused. Some of these issues have been touched on in his previous books but here, in length, he delves into them with more detail. Where his angst bubbles up, from time to time, he is still informed enough to clearly express his concerns. His work, in some places, is light hearted and comedic whereas on other subjects he is clearly sincere and deadly serious. The writer does not pretend to have all the answers to some of today's major issues but his opinions are well thought out and worth considering. Each chapter is a separate story and, in some, his writings are highly amusing whereas in others they are riveting in their clarity. Any opinions expressed, here in, are purely his own as a private citizen and not connected to, or influence by, any political party. In the words of the immortal bard, it is being crazy that quite often stops you from going insane!
