More About This Book

Overview

In his Early Years, John is walking down a road with his German grandfather in post-war Berlin. At six years old, he moves to the UK, goes to school and finds himself challenged in various ways.

When he is almost eighteen, he runs away from what purports to be home. Education eludes him for a long time. As adulthood takes over, relationships come and go.

John moves overseas. He does quite well in his working life; less so personally. Depression comes and goes, as does determination and self-help. But the ultimate support comes from a surprising source, which starts a whole new story: his later years!

The book, which conveys three stages to John's life, is an attempt to understand the external forces that buffeted this being. How he responded impacted himself, and inevitably others, most of whom were innocent participants in this particular journey. The fundamental assertion, however, is that the past bears heavily on the future.

About the Author: Ian Hunter is a consultant whose four previous books are e-Love, e-Dreams, e-World and Three Interludes. He grew up in the UK, lived in Southeast Asia and then found his way to New York City. This book is motivated by his search for greater self-understanding. "My next (and last) book - Love's Anatomy - is already finished."

    The experiences between John and his various lovers are (let's just say), wide-ranging. There's a genuine chronology in this, the fifth of seven books. It is a journey of exploration leading to not only a deepening sense of eroticism but also, greater self-awareness. The books are well-written, with a fundamental psychological undercurrent. The first three set the faltering stage. The rest carry the story further, in surprising directions. This book goes back to where all his emotional contortions started.
