Things Written Randomly in Doubt (Vagabonds)

A work in three parts, which starts with aphorisms in "How Not to Be a Ruminant," shifts to essays in "Weights and Counterweights," and concludes with poetry in "By the Metre." Some arguments appear in more than one section, and include nationalism, class, free will, religion, literature, and the arts, but the theme of human relationships runs through the entire book.

Allan Cameron, who has lived in Nigeria, Bangladesh and Italy, and worked in various fields, now lives on Glasgow, where he writes, translates and runs his own publishing company Vagabond Voices, which is principally concerned with the translation and publication of European novels in English. His novels, The Golden Menagerie (a modern version of Apuleius's Golden Ass) and The Berlusconi Bonus (a political satire directed against the Neo-Cons and the ideas of Francis Fukuyama), were both published by Luath Press.
