New AN Memoir

(1/3) > >>

Dr T:
Hello. I had a large, precariously located AN removed under emergency circumstances in 1985. I am posting for two reasons: 1. to offer my reflections/perspective to anyone interested about my experiences pre- and post-op; and 2. to advise you of a memoir I am about to publish where my AN journey is a subtext. I tried contacting the admin to see if it is appropriate to promote this here; if not, I apologize in advance and would be glad to relocate/remove this post. You are probably wondering why I am writing about this 30-years hence. A key event happened a year ago and it spurred me to write non-stop. Now 18 chapters later the book is complete and publishing details will be available in the next several weeks. The book is called White Man's Disease (provocative title, not a provocative book--it will be clear upon reading where that title comes from.) I have a blog with excerpts here: http://whitemansdisease.weebly.com. The photo is a placeholder for the book cover art. Thank you.

Dr T:
Hello. Many new excerpts have been posted to on my blog here http://www.whitemansdisease.com/blog. Book is in editing and should be available in about a month. I know my website has received some visitors from here--thank you for that!

Can't wait to read to read it. I am a white man and have black relatives. My family were slave owners in the 16th and 17th century, in northern Virginia. We are blood relatives, and we communicate in person and letters. Small world we live in. Love your neighbor.

Dr T:
Thanks James for your interest. There is an interesting anecdote--well I think so--relating to where the book title comes from. If you have been to the site there is a blog post listing the table of contents, and it is in chap 9, titled White Man's Disease that I divulge the reason behind that title.
