Mathein Pathein: a Thesaurus of the Idiolect of John David Jackson (1925–2016)

Jackson, Ian compiles

Ian Jackson's father's lexicon of admonishments and metaphors designed to chastise immediately and with more lasting effects over the longer term for his elder son. Divided into fifty-three subject lists – 'Architecture', 'Carpentry', 'Colours', 'Confrontational' and 'Endurance and Desperation'; examples from the last category include: 'doing the rounds', 'it's for your own good', 'drudge', 'nagging worry' and 'slaving in the vineyards'; to assemble a granular biography of his theoretical physicist father. Signed by Ian Jackson. 200 copies.
