“I only had the wherewithal to take one class from Bernard Mayes. After reading this, I realize that was completely ill advised. His story, always told in rumor among undergrads, is even more fascinating and unbelievable that we imagined: survived the London Blitzkriegs to go as an ordained Anglican priest, founder of the first suicide hotline, founding member of what became NPR and reporter for the Beeb on life in America. All while living relatively out and proud.
Aside from this astonishing story, Mayes takes a theological approach to his autobiography and comes to terms with and espouses a radical theory of the cosmos.
All together, tremendous. ”
