The children of Drancy door Hubert Butler

Fascinating collection of essays dated 1930-1988 on travel, writers, war, and autobiography, mostly reprinted. A liberal and open-minded perspective. The most controversial piece and the longest is a reflection on euthanasia, killing, and moral principles referring to his granddaughter.
