Sobre IBD

In 'Breath & Other Ventures,' Bill Bridges has created a companion piece to his earlier 'Places & Stories.' But this time there’s a more personal note, as he recounts how he dealt with an inherited respiratory ailment while at the same time exploring Zen breathing meditation. The 'other ventures' of the title include a memoir constructed from notebooks of the 1970s, the story of a summer as a Washington newsman, an essay on 'forgotten writers,' and another GeeGee Dapple detective story, about a retired British editor who solves crimes through astute journalistic observation.
