Excitable Boy: Essays on Risk by Dominic Gordon is a sharp, provocative collection that digs into the many faces of danger, chance, and consequence. Gordon explores risk not only as something to be avoided, but as an essential force that shapes art, politics, relationships, and identity. With essays that weave personal reflection, cultural critique, and philosophical inquiry, he pushes readers to consider how much of life’s meaning comes from stepping into uncertainty. Both intellectual and intimate, the book examines why risk fascinates, terrifies, and ultimately defines us, offering a fearless look at the costs—and the exhilaration—of living on the edge.
Unfortunately this book has sustained moisture damage, it such an amazing read however so if you can deal with that then you're cool.
