God, Man and Mrs. Thatcher by Jonathan Raban
This is the first in a series of provocative pamphlets in the tradition which was at its peak in the 18th century and was last upheld by Wyndham Lewis' "Blast". Writers are invited to address a contemporary issue about which they feel strongly and present a short non-party-political piece which should enrage and stir up debate. Here, Jonathan Raban gives a critical analysis of Mrs Thatcher's address to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. The "Chatto Counterblast" pamphlets are designed to become collector's items. Each will be numbered and bear the author's signature on the inside flap.
Jonathan Raban is the author of Soft City, Arabia, Foreign Land, Old Glory, For Love and Money, Hunting Mister Heartbreak, Bad Land, and Passage to Juneau; he has also edited The Oxford Book of the Sea. Raban has received the National Book Critics Circle Award (for Bad Land), the Heinemann Award for Literature, the Thomas Cook Award, the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award, the Governor's Award of the State of Washington, and the PEN West Creative Nonfiction Award, among others. Raban lives in Seattle, with his daughter.
