Sterling Silver Rants, Raves and Revelations “If there ever was a book that demonstrates the difficult art of working out a life, Sterling Silver is that book.” — Books in Canada. For a quarter of a century, Silver Donald Cameron has been writing memorably about everything that catches his eye—from sailing and skiing to fear and suicide, from the unquenchable Volvo to individual freedom, to the perils of home renovations and love. Silver Donald delivers a unique blend of intelligence and gumption, compassion and good humour. Sterling Silver brings together the best of that writing: good clear prose, focused subjects, and often outrageous approaches. Here is Silver Donald Cameron’s writing—angry, hopeful, incisive, and amused. It is like a series of visits with an intelligent, compassionate and occasionally off-the-wall friend. Sterling Silver is a wonderful, long-lasting book.
