Description
"Bob Bowie's reflections on his well-lived and adventurous life are charming, funny, poignant and wise. This book is a real pleasure to read."
- Drew Faust
President Emerita, Harvard University
"Bob Bowie has written a riveting and rollicking collection of tales comprising his life as a Renaissance Man who overcame serious childhood learning disabilities to become a Harvard Poet Laureate, adventurer, lawyer and playwright. Writing with brutal candor and self-deprecating wit, Bowie unspools stories that both entertain and pack plenty of wisdom. I thoroughly enjoyed this book."
- Ben Bradlee, Jr.
Pulitzer Prize-winning Editor of
The Boston Globe Spotlight Team
"Pearl after pearl - brief easily accessible stories that reflect the unclouded eye of the author for all things honest, compassionate and revelatory. I laughed, cried, reflected, regretted and rejoiced reading this seemingly random collection before recognizing the common thread - clear eyed humanity. Mr. Bowie's curation of his self deprecating, poignant and often hilarious moments, will become a dear friend whose warmth and comfort are there to visit again and again!"
- Ty Cobb
