As We Go

A lively assortment of short studies, this work invites listeners to wander through the everyday puzzles of modern life. From the quirks of newspaper‑made presidents and the curious habits of “interesting girls” to the subtle art of idleness, each essay offers a witty, thoughtful snapshot of the social currents that shape our world. The author blends observation with gentle humor, turning topics like weather, character, and the “new feminine reserve” into engaging conversations that feel both intimate and broadly relevant.

The collection also turns a reflective eye toward the structures of power, asking why privilege endures and how democracy reshapes royalty. By comparing ancient bee societies to contemporary elections, the author highlights the paradox of inherited status versus earned merit. Listeners will find a blend of sharp insight and playful commentary that encourages a fresh look at the customs and contradictions of everyday American life.
