BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE SPARKLEPONIES On Myths, Morons, Free Speech, Football, and Assorted Absurdities

With his manic-paced delivery, 32-year-old ex-NFL football player Chris Kluwe sounds much younger. His rapid pacing sometimes requires effort to comprehend, and makes it difficult to appreciate the substance in this collection of subversive observations and opinions. Kluwe's incisive writing calls out the bigotry in the way our institutions operate with respect to free speech, gay rights, and other current issues. He sounds mostly spot-on regarding a variety of injustices in American culture. The book's charm, which is actually helped by the author's boyish delivery, is that Kluwe's assertions, even with his frequent bluster, contain no guile or judgment. With this audio broadside, he just wants to be heard and to make things right. T.W. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2014]
