I'll go so far as to call Durych a torch-bearer in a time of darkness. If a book about 'the ramifications of a changing society in which the minority becomes the rule-making political authority' and its dire consequences doesn't strike the reader as exigent in 2017, the reader isn't paying very close attention. --M. Bartley Seigel Words without Borders
