Description
[Last Rites, John Lukacs, Yale University Press, 208 pages] JOHN LUKACS HAS WRITTEN more than 30 books and recognizes that now, at the age of 85, the end must be near. Not many authors would have the nerve to use the title Last Rites, which might almost be taken as an invitation to the Grim Reaper, but Lukacs has never shied away from frank talk. An historian, he reminds readers that historians' memoirs are nearly always bad and boring. Last Rites is neither bad nor boring, but unfortunately it cannot rival his scintillating Confessions of an Original Sinner (1990), to which it acts as a kind of long appendix.
