James Lythgoe

Not From The Pulpit

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is not a book about religion, and most certainly - irrespective of the perhaps slightly provocative title - not intended to be irreverent. Indeed not all the stories fall within a religious framework, and those which do, are a reflection of the characters involved rather than the paths they follow. The reasons for them unlikely to be recommended is that in a few instances the characters do not exactly conform to the laws of propriety as advocated in the Bible, and hence the qualification. It would be tempting to profess that the characters are figments of my imagination, however that would be erroneous, for I am certain that like me, you too have come across them in real life. I have merely embellished - occasionally quite concisely - certain of their activities. James Lythgoe is a British engineer who has resided in South Africa for many years. Contrary to many beliefs he is a confirmed Christian.

Autorenporträt

James, a retired British engineer, has lived and worked in South Africa for many years, and resides in the culturally deprived backwater town of Benoni. Another Point of View is his fourth work and follows two novels, and a book of short stories previously published in London and New York. When relaxing James can usually be found practising his unorthodox golf swing, quaffing cheap white wine, painting Otters (his family crest), or trying to unravel the meaning of his somewhat indecipherable poetry. His views on poetry are somewhat Bohemian. "It should be poignant, paradoxical, preposterous, and passionate and unintended for those bereft of humour, love or empathy."
