It moves, though, in unexpected directions--no excuses are made for Ken and his compulsions, and yet we get to know and even love him like a deeply flawed younger brother. When Barnes writes of the fall of civilisation to Christianity and/or barbarism, his rationalism does not rule out empathy for other ways of seeing--and a sense that armed conflict always involves collateral losses of more than just lives. The doomed soldier of "Advice to the Civilized" knows that in that regret lies the whole difference between civilisation and barbarism. The stories come packaged with some non-fiction--Barnes writes well about building a world and his views on style and criticism; inspirationally about education and his hopes for the future. --Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
