Opis

Jamey Leary lives in his right brain. Always has. Imagination is reality of choice. As he passes through mid life he is both thankful for his blessings and sadly aware that he is as tortured and overwhelmed as he was at twenty. A good day is one not drowned by the din of sensation, information and expectation no one else seems to hear. Remembering is not simply a theme in Jamey's story but a ribbon running through his life. Almost connected vignettes move us with him through the seasons, forward and backward in time. Sentimental snapshots, odd observations and quirky conversations with friends and lovers give us some insight into this disheartened romantic and help him learn about himself. But ultimately there is no transformative epiphany - only the continuing trek of one survivor attempting to make sense out of his time here and yearning in his dearest dreams to be a mover of souls and a healer of hearts.
