Summary:

Tony Wilson's life and artistic development is documented through paintings, sketches and intellectual reflections, and in Life is Like a Banana, the reader accompanies him on his travels through the decades; whether it's around Bradford-on-Avon, or further afield in Turkey and Ireland. The simplicity of Tony Wilson's watercolour paintings, where at times only a few brushstrokes are used, perfectly convey the fullness of living. The book reveals Tony's personal life -- the documentation of his life's loves, whether that's his grandchildren, his wife Pat or his dog Rufus. But it also captures global concerns, such as his thoughts on the pandemic or his commitment to understanding how society functions. The book is filled with quotes, diagrams and observations, many of which highlight his Assembly and Performance Thinking - - the basis of his previous book The Wheels of Society, which the TLS described as an 'erudite critique of individualistic political philosophy--short and wise, lithely grasping three ideas that academia is belatedly struggling to digest.' Life is Like a Banana is a journey through space and time, and with Tony Wilson's arresting watercolours on every page, this is a collector's item for art and philosophy lovers alike.--Provided by publisher.
