From THE ESTUARY flows a multilayered, hard hitting narrative in which personal recollections, historical events and candid, often caustic, ruminations on the human condition, the press and America are tightly intertwined. Dissecting a world in which the obvious and the perceived are willfully commingled, this memoir strikes at conventional reason with ferocious and unrepentant irony. A seasoned journalist, the author challenges preconceived notions about war and peace, life and death, justice and inequality, free speech and censorship, jingoism and nihilism, love and sex, sanity and madness as he himself struggles to find his "place" in the world. Urging society to lift the veils of ignorance that blind it to the truth, he casts a cunning, often savage eye at our most cherished convictions and treasured illusions.

W.E. Gutman's brave and beautiful memoir, THE ESTUARY, will resonate with readers long after they turn the last page. The palpable sense of wonder and discovery -- mixed with humor and great humanity -- is reminiscent of Nabokov's Speak Memory and Proust's Remembrance of Things Past.
