Examples of ruination include but are not limited to:
1. Charlie Chaplin's exile from America after being a prolific entertainer that created art in a time when the world was gray.
2. The spectacle of silent movies taken over by the sterility of 'blockbusters' in cookie cutter movie theaters.
3. Steam trains being replaced by diesel engines which were then supplanted by airplane travel. (Beaumont is all about the romance.)
4. Halloween no longer being a night of mischief but a highly sanitized and supervised few hours of getting candy from pre-approved houses before calling it quits before the sun has even sunk below the horizon.
Conclusion: This was a fun (and surprisingly educational) book which has me looking forward to ferreting out more work of his in the (not too distant) future. 10/10 ( )
