Mixed Freight is one man's metaphor for his life's journey from city boy to country gentleman. Novelist and film writer S Paul Klein brings his well honed skills of observation and description to the world he has inhabited for three quarters of a century. In this collection of essays he interprets society, politics, economics, the natural world and, of course, himself. Candid, humorous and imaginative, Klein's personal point of view makes up a mixed freight readers can carry on their own life's journey.
