Thousand Shards of Glass

A visceral and eviscerating lament for the USA, the country Katakis loved but can no longer bear to live in

'George Bernard Shaw observed that all progress depends on unreasonable men - as reasonable men adapt themselves to the world and do not try to change it. But Michael Katakis is a reasonable man who has refused to adapt. A Thousand Shards of Glass, a book written with remarkable prescience some years ago, recounts with sad eloquence his disillusionment with America. His is a voice full of common sense and simple humanity that seem to have been lost in contemporary America. It is a voice both kind and angry, the voice of a reasonable man who has not lost his idealism but who is deeply troubled by what he sees and describes so clearly.' -- Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm and Admissions
'Katakis writes with an economic elegance about the rift between America as advertised and America as experienced with the passion and precision of a poet' -- Rick Klefell * National Public Radio *
