A BOOK OF MANY TITLES

by Robert Anthony Carswell

Overview

This book's contents cover some eighty years of a man's life. He is nobody special, but his story is. It is a story about survival in the real world. The author calls it a work of nonfiction. Others say it has to be fictional because no one person could endure what he has gone through and have survived as he has done. It is an autobiographical story but written in the third person simply because the author does not like to say "I" all the time. It should be noted that a lot of freedom of thought is allowed here and if you think some of his ideas would only work as a piece of fiction, you may hold a different view. In any case, as most fiction writers will tell, developing your characters is the most important part of any story and gives the reader a better insight into why they do things. This is no different in real life.
If the author attempted to tell you about his life's story and did not prepare you with some preliminary information, you would find the stories difficult to follow and you would possibly lose interest along the way. For heaven's sake, you had better not do that! So here are some facts to start with that will tell you a bit about a non-fictional character whose journey through life has been from the top to the bottom, but always with the optimism that the top will be achieved again. It will be the most exciting book you will ever read.
