Produktbeschreibung
This mild fiction takes place in Peterborough, New Hampshire during the reconstruction of an historic library and an adjacent historic bridge, with actual photographs of both projects during 2020 -2022. A temporary bridge affords views of both projects and inspires passers-by to contemplate contemporary changes in technical and literary fashion. Some people are born into opportunity and then manage to pass all the way to retirement doing all they ought to do in each stage of life, never failing exactly, but never experiencing the potential richness of human experience. Adjusting from a career in New York City to life in a small town requires a man to develop the humility to reject his habitual values and to learn what is worthwhile in his new environment.
Autorenporträt
Mabbs-Zeno spent two years in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Vietnam, before finishing school. He served as an economist for 35 years in the Federal Government, researching food security issues in poor countries before focusing on design and implementation of U.S. foreign assistance programs. He retired to Peterborough, New Hampshire and will this year celebrate his fiftieth anniversary with his wife, Lynda. He currently serves on two town committees and on the Boards of two local NGOs, including the 1833 Society that collected funds for the design and construction of a major library renovation. A Literary Guide to Bridge Construction is his sixth novel.
