520    In clothing, Bermuda Shorts are a kind of casual formal 
       wear - and in this collection of essays, Bermuda Shorts is
       the perfect metaphor for James J. Patterson's 
       fundamentally serious but playful literary style. 
       Patterson writes like the love child of Henry Miller and 
       Mary Karr, with all the contradictions that implies - a 
       philosopher who thinks best over a glass of fine wine; an 
       ex-Catholic still haunted by the image of the Crucifixion;
       an irreverent political satirist whose patriotism flies 
       the flag of another iconoclast, Thomas Paine. Patterson 
       grew up with a foot planted in each of two worlds - one in
       Washington DC, the Capital of the Empire as he calls it, 
       where the wheels of power spin, and one in rural Ontario, 
       where his Canadian mother insisted the family spend their 
       summers. His father, one of the wizards of twentieth 
       century newspaper publishing, introduced him to the city's
       wheels of money and power, which he would later navigate 
       as an entrepreneur, starting his first business at 20. But
       those Canadian summers introduced him to a different world
       - one where a cedar strip boat was better than any car, 
       and where the ghosts of those who'd previously inhabited 
       the family's island house floated out over the water of 
       Lovesick Lake. It is those two worlds that blend in this 
       collection, in reflections both serious and playful, on 
       what it means to be a man, an artist, an iconoclast, a 
       patriot, a lover, as the 20th century rolls over into the 
       21st.
