Well I hope you are happy with sloppy seconds because I am moving in.

I find Smith's writing erudite, compelling and beautifully referenced. Very few martial artists are as well-read as Smith who was subsequently a lit reviewer for the Washington Post and Guardian, FYI. Even fewer can draw parallells between Eastern and Western martial, estoric and ascetic traditions - which Smith does.
The fact that the whole book is a giant op-ed - rather than simply being a piece of reportage - does not detract from it. It is what it is.
I scribble for a living and while I suspect I am a better reporter, I wish I was half as good a wordsmith as Smith.

Yeah back at the kodokan people really trained hard back then and Bluming and Drager liked Japanese food. They sure trained hard but weren't as soft as Cheng Man Ching. Hey, that car just went 10 miles over the speed limit! Can you believe people these days? Sweet Georgia Brown!"
