Sobre IBD

More reminisces and inquiring commentary as I embark on my ninth year following my diagnosis with ALS. Like the last two collections, I have written these essays with my eyes, reading the sources using the Kindle app. My childhood memories are probably of interest only to those who may share some of them, but it does add to the picture (pictures) presented in the first three Wanderings books. The others, only to other old-fashioned reactionaries like me. Otherwise, I just continue to wander and to wonder. Now, I am reading several books at once to keep the mind working. A long time colleague and friend wrote:'Remarkable. Even God needed Moses’s hand to write the Pentateuch. And you are, with the exception of certain passages in Genesis and Exodus, a better writer ....'

  • Disappointments
    John E. Beerbower
    Disappointment.  It comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, we see it coming, or, even invite it; sometimes, it takes us by surprise. It can be a shock or a relief. So, that is my theme for this tiny volume. I am still wandering. Any writer of nonfiction will look for an angle, a theme, a perspective, that will give his book a claim of originality, of making a contribution to...
