Book synopsis

Provocations is a ground-breaking new series of short polemics composed by some of the most intriguing voices in contemporary culture. Never less than sharp, intelligent and controversial Provocations is a major new contribution to some of the most vital discussions in society today. Politicians are now told they must be 'authentic'- like Nigel Farage, drinking, smoking, men of the people. Food has to be 'authentic' meaning, presumably, made in ovens of clay with woods taken from the right tree in Tuscany or Bengal, using milk from named cow breeds which have been grazing on particular age old grass etc. It is all a con says York - the authenticity brigade is taking people for a ride. Nothing is real, and that's no bad thing!
