A new publishing sensation hits the bookshelves!
After many years of gathering dust, I’ve finally hauled my famous novel out into the sunlight! It’s not actually very famous yet, but that’s where you come in …
The title derives from a Biblical quote, which beautifully expresses the perplexity of our condition: namely that we have to live, even though none of the reference points we get our bearings from really makes complete sense.
Suceava railway station - dark, cold, smelly ... and inspirational. That was a long time ago, and it's a bit more civilised there now, but that initial image from North-Eastern Romania was so intense that it insisted in generating a story out of itself.
Having emerged from that station into the shadowy world beyond, a thousand debates and discussions and conversations since have immeasurably enriched my sense of unknowing, and formed the backdrop to "Through a glass, darkly".
But I'm privileged to be able to call to mind any number of vivid images - cycle tours of Europe, the seafront of Sidmouth – along with all sorts of ideas which straddle the boundaries between physics, philosophy, politics - the revolving quantum signpost, the democracy train, and many others which I hope you will find as perplexing as I do when you read these pages.
Several of these ideas still get tossed to and fro in our regular student conferences in Romania: take a look at www.cascaid.org.uk , and follow the links.
Still with me? The book is available for purchase in two ways:
(1) If, like me, you prefer a real physical book you can hold in your hand, go to www.lulu.com . Type “dickie twort” in the search box, and there you are! Don’t forget to click on the “more details” link, and then “View this Author’s Spotlight”, if you want to see a bit of creative pizzazz.
(2) On the other hand, if you’re of the Kindle/ iPad generation, it’s available much more cheaply for download. Go to any amazon site (eg www.amazon.co.uk ), and again simply type “dickie twort” into the search box.
Happy Reading!
