The Time Traveler's Lament

Compiled from Keith McWalter's long-running essay and opinion blog, Mortal Coil, these essays span the period from the summer of 2018 through the end of 2020. Trump, Covid, the first moon landing, the lasting rituals of family meals, the prescient genius of mid-century disaster fiction, the nature of duty, and the sudden loss of cherished places -- these are among the topics explored in these incisive meditations on life in uncertain times.
