Sea Changes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781593680022)

"Sea Changes is an often lyrical and well-judged antidote to the PC hustlers who salve their own bad consciences by making normal people feel uncomfortable in their skins--the perfect corrective to a national neurosis."

Taki Theodoracopulos

"A courageous, compassionate, and compelling literary treatment of one of the 21st century's most sensitive, important, and rarely discussed subjects--mass immigration and its often troubling consequences."

Sir Richard Body

Derek's book is full of so many moments that seem to have been ripped from the headlines, and his characters reflect the three-dimensional tragedies of our world. One I find entertaining is the right-wing journalist and lovable curmudgeon Albert Norman, whose personality and great girth is surely based on the late American journalist and author Sam Francis. Dan Gowt is the center of the novel, a rural everyman character, who gets thrust into the media spotlight for his "politically incorrect" views, all of which would have been taken for granted by most everyone only a decade or so ago. Dan is a gentle man, but he also embodies the "id" of today's populist moment--the silent rage against the cosmopolitan administrative state, which bloomed fully in the course of the Brexit phenomenon.
