Sobre IBD

This is the author’s third volume of his memoir. All three are linked to the metaphor of flowers.The first one deals with growing up and reaching his late teens while the second one deals with his mature stage up to retirement. This third volume talks about the author’s retirement from university teaching for 30 years, his stroke and his wife’s struggle with dementia. It then deals with his difficult decision to move to an assisted living residence in Kennebunk, Maine and the subsequent death of his wife. A very important aspect of this work is the author’s revelation about his personal struggle with his gender penchant. Finally, he talks about his writing as a vocation/redemption. This book is an honest, deeply felt, absorbing if not challenging aperçu into the life of a writer who chooses to reveal some intimate insights of a career filled with worthy accomplishments as well as challenges that enter his life as a creative artist with words.
