At the Corner of Past and Future: A Collection of Life Stories - Pamela Carter Joern

Descriere At the Corner of Past and Future: A Collection of Life Stories - Pamela Carter Joern

With keen observation and deep reflection, Pamela Carter Joern probes her life. No topic is too small or too sacred, from gutting chickens to Gaudí's cathedral. Through a range of experiences--growing up in rural Nebraska, raising children, surviving cancer, becoming a writer--she explores the tenuous link between memory and truth. Joern displays a gift for mining wisdom through surprising connections, juxtaposing her father's life to the discoveries of Isaac Newton or the writer's task to the ancient art of alchemy. She weds philosophical insight and spiritual imagination and laces this amalgam with candor and wit, resulting in a work that is engaging, intimate, and illuminating.
