A Capful of Whisky Improves the Porridge is the book’s title and one of its 14 essays, each a celebration of language and our fundamental humanity. At the heart of the writing is a quest for optimism. You’ll find it in the hard Minnesota winter of 2014. In the grim politics of Brexit and the Trump presidency. In the darkness of a global pandemic. In old castle walls and remote northern islands. In the distance between friends and family. And finally, in spring lilacs and the poetry of T.S. Eliot.
