From political philosophy to sociology, from professional cycling to Icelandic sagas, Wieting takes us on an intellectual journey during which we must confront widespread hypocrisy in institutions and individuals whose identities supposedly rest on fidelity.' Alan Bairner, Loughborough University, UK
