Last Words by Phillip Adams is a captivating collection of essays from a masterful storyteller and cultural commentator. While Adams humorously questions whether these are his “last words,” this anthology showcases Adams’ wit, insight, and humour as he tackles topics ranging from politics and Beethoven to wine snobs and quirky life dilemmas like deleting a deceased friend’s phone number. Whether exploring the world of politics or delving into life’s big questions with his trademark irreverence, Last Words highlights Adams’ knack for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and making big ideas feel accessible. Thought-provoking, funny, and occasionally poignant, this book is a celebration of a remarkable life and career.
