Sobre IBD

Developed sporadically over the course of a 54-year period, Contents of a Curious Mind takes readers on a journey that turns everyday reflections into an eclectic celebration of life. Through comic thoughts and observations, vivid poetry, sketches and cartoons, author Scott Robertson leads with wit, candor, and, of course, a keen curiosity on human behavior and our shared neuroses. Hilarious but deeply felt, this collection of observations and original prose is never short on insight. Above all, Contents of a Curious Mind is an invitation to stay curious and stay attuned to the brilliant absurdity of everyday life.
