Books by William Ian (Thomas G. Long Professor of Law Miller

In this book, William Ian Miller offers his reflections on the perverse consequences of so-called 'good things.' With wit and sensitivity, along with a large measure of fearless self-scrutiny, he points to and invites us to recognize the gloomy, neurotic, despondent tendencies of reasonably sentient humanity.

A reader's guide and a companion to this complex and great saga, a classic of world literature, comparable to the greatest in any language. 'Why is your axe bloody?' provides what, in effect, is a graduated course in the saga.
