Frank Cioffi: The Philosopher in Shirt-Sleeves

"A high school drop-out who served in the American army and then managed to slip into Oxford on the G.I.

This account of his conversation is written in a Boswellian spirit, capturing the sharp intelligence, boisterous sense of humour and wealth of illustrations Cioffi was able to bring to bear on life's biggest problems."-- page [4] of cover.
