The Book of Life to Incubate Involution– the book of understanding. Details of that can be found on this page.
A journey from darkness towards light, from narrow towards broad, in which mistakes convert the closed O to the displaced PHI of creation. Accompanied always by a personal Sancho Panza and a shepherd dog. Sometimes biblical echoes find a footfall on stony ground; the adventure had been already annotated by scholars, poets, anchorites, and George Eliot, who patiently awaited its conclusion. Only the author did not know that.
She just followed the miracles and the demands of necessity. It contrasts South African liberty ( and impoverishment) with British promises of security ( those come at a price). The sojourn lives on a deserted island in the Indian Ocean, in the vitality of the ‘roaring sixties’ London, in an antique mill in Bavaria, and builds its house out of reclamation. It would also build its understanding piecemeal from scraps collected in books and from extraordinary encounters with philosophers, priests, carpenters and incidental horses, snakes, birds, dogs and one important cat- A portrait of every life, with unique details of one life. The rich perfection in the commonplace.
From a review, ‘Writing of this calibre is a rarity, as it is also to find an autobiography that goes far beyond the annals of ordinary experience to become a voyage of mythic proportion for both the author and the reader.‘ Robert Knowles.
