Worlds' Fair - A Space-Time Travel Tale (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A life-journey through time, space, and spirit during which the son remembers his father's stories while trying to work out his own story. His attempts to impose rational order on both outrageous cosmic and peculiar personal experience are often frustrating. A child of his times, his embrace of sixties idealism takes him from optimism to disappointment to a scientific inquiry into the possibility of using space-time travel to find a better world. The unforseen results of that inquiry prove to be even stranger than the culture shock he endured upon finding himself immersed in a truly alien Hippy culture after moving to the San Francisco Bay area. It is a story of loss, hope, and unexpected strangeness where weighty considerations of Good versus Evil are balanced by simpler pleasures like catching a fly ball - or trying to.

Autorenporträt

Born in western Pennsylvania, raised in the 60s in the sarcasm belt of north-central New Jersey (yes, you can take the boy out of Jersey but you can not take the Jersey out of the boy), graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Education, I moved to San Francisco in 1977 (partly to see what it might be like to live someplace where the people wore flowers in their hair - someplace very different from what I had so far been accustomed to). After surviving significant initial culture shock, I spent most of the next two decades in various parts of the pacific northwest, and loved it. But in order to be closer to family, I then moved back east to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where I was employed as a Respiratory Therapist in a children's hospital until I retired. I am now thankfully living on the Oregon coast.
