Description

Let me slip into my doctor mode--I advise the reader to place the book on his bedside table and take two Robben pieces a night, until he is finished with both the book and whatever ails him. --from the Foreword by Jerry Dumas

These thoughtful and engaging Greenwich Time Op-Ed pieces chronicle the life and times of author John Robben, illuminating his evolution from infant to grandfather and spanning the eras of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Drawn from seven decades of his journals, Robben recalls Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, President Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign for re-election, spending time with his family playing "Would you rather...?", and much more. Whether they elicit a chuckle, bring us to tears, or simply send us back in time, these essays offer something for everyone, including stirring recollections of his:

  • Father's Alzheimer's Disease
  • Correspondence with Hemingway

Fears of Death and Dying Possible Reincarnation Earliest Childhood Memories Experience of Psychotherapy Role of Grandfather Service in the Korean War Visit to Ireland Sighting of a UFO

So settle into a comfortable spot and allow Robben to take you on his personal journey filled with unique observations, rich memories, and the insight gained only with time.
