    The personal essay has so much potential as a literary form that it’s gratifying to see it being skilfully and engagingly employed in this book. Silver Donald Cameron has plenty on his mind, and he knows how to hold our attention. Cameron easily entices us into his essay “Rocky Mountain High” with this for openers:”Downhill skiing is a certifiably silly sport, I whimper to myself as the chair-lift bears me inexorably over the treetops and gullies, like a slab of beef going around the overhead conveyors in an abattoir. “.
