| Abstract: | We all fantasise about writing the perfect resignation letter, don't we? To justify oneself, excoriate one's boss, stand up for principle and achieve one's freedom, all in a single bound, is a most attractive option. Matt Potter has collected some real beauties: from Roy Disney's accusatory missive to the Disney Company, to Robin Cook's more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger resignation to Tony Blair, Rebekah Brooks's self-justifying letter from Newscorp to Che Guevara's self-dramatising resignation letter to Fidel Castro. It's a marvellous idea, but Potter's commentary tends to be over-explanatory and his prose is stuffed with dead and often ill-assorted metaphors. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
