Serious memoir with a light touch. Philosophy professor runs out of words at age thirty-five, gets divorced, turns carpenter and saves his life. He turns a cherrywood table leg and gives his son a wedding present; turns peace provocateur and helps save the world; turns TV producer and turns dials; turns community journalist and turns pages; turns Buddhist Catholic, and (maybe) saves his soul. Finds True Love, plants roses and pays the mortgage. A gentle read.
