Occasionally, when I am tired and emotional, or consumed with self-dislike, I try to imagine myself as someone else, a wearer of Yarmouth shirts and fleecy sweats, of windbreakers and rugged Tyler shorts, of baseball caps with polo players where the section of the brain that concerns itself with aesthetics is supposed to be. But the hour passes. Good men return from fighting Satan in the wilderness the stronger for their struggle, and so do I. The winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize, Howard Jacobson, brims with life in this collection of his most acclaimed journalism. From the unusual disposal of his father-in-law's ashes and the cultural wasteland of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to the melancholy sensuality of Leonard Cohen and desolation of Wagner's tragedies, Jacobson writes with all the thunder and joy of a man possessed.

El autor explica en el prólogo el motivo por el que fue escrito este libro, que es precisar la imagen trasmitida a lo largo de los años de Fernández Flórez como"escritor de derechas". Díaz-Plaja sostiene que tal calificativo se debe exclusivamente a la colaboracion que el escritor coruñes mantenia con el diario"ABC"y al hecho de haber tomado partido por el bando de Franco tras finalizar la Guerra Civil. No obstante, pese a mantener un ideal conservador, en las obras de Fernandez Florez aparecen numerosos textos izquierdistas en los que humoristicamente critica todos los pilares del conservadurismo. De ahi la acepcion de"conservador subversivo"que da titulo a esta obra. El libro, mediante acotaciones a estos textos, intenta explicar lo mencionado anteriormente, abarcando todas las facetas en la literatura de Fernandez Florez.
