Book Description
The author has drawn on his many adventures in and out of his true profession, Surgery...to craft a tale of some odd adventures. It hadn't begun that way, but he was gradually drawn into a life in Cold War espionage, starting with a medical humanitarian stint gone awry, maybe askew. He'd been volunteered to go on a "do good" mission to war-torn Vietnam and while there, found himself enamored of a gorgeous creature named Gigi...and her ilk. Probably an intelligence agent posted to the Vietnamese "incident," she teamed up in a loose sense with our protagonist. Many fascinating real-life characters populate the book, each contributing to the adventure and at times some excitement. Then as one thing led to another, Dr. John visited medical colleagues in Moscow and while there was abducted for his own safety. His "doings..".mostly true, went from one scenario to another, even witnessing the botched assassination of a world leader. It makes for captivating story while raising so many questions...did it really happen, did he really do that? That's for the reader to decide. This adventure novel, a "fictionalized autobiography," reads easily and flows from one situation to another. And the reader may learn how one goes from Polaroid to Kodachrome.

Book Description
A witty and thought-provoking collection of visual poems constructed from stacks of books. Delighting in the look and feel of books, conceptual artist Nina Katchadourian’s playful photographic series proves that books’ covers—or more specifically, their spines—can speak volumes. Over the past two decades, Katchadourian has perused libraries across the globe, selecting, stacking, and photographing groupings of two, three, four, or five books so that their titles can be read as sentences, creating whimsical narratives from the text found there. Thought-provoking, clever, and at times laugh-out-loud funny (one cluster of titles from the Akron Museum of Art’s research library consists of: Primitive Art /Just Imagine/Picasso/Raised by Wolves), Sorted Books is an enthralling collection of visual poems full of wry wit and bookish smarts. Praise for Sorted Books “Katchadourian’s project . . . takes on a weight beyond its initial novelty. It’s a love letter to books, book collecting and the act of reading.” —San Francisco Chronicle “As a longtime fan of [Katchadourian’s] long-running Sorted Books project I’m thrilled for the release of Sorted Books—a collection spanning nearly two decades of her witty and wise minimalist mediations on life by way of ingeniously arranged book spines. . . . In an era drowned in periodic death tolls for the future of the physical book, her project stands as a celebration of the spirit embedded in the magnificent materiality of the printed page.” —Brain Pickings “Katchadourian’s stacks possess an understated sophistication; they are true to the intimate nature of books and yet reveal their dramatic features and unexpected potential.” —Publishers Weekly
