I am an old-fashioned bard.
A few years ago, I ripped out the last bits of filter between my muse and my fingertips. Everything here is a story, deeply-felt and told, the nonfiction deeply reported.
This latest, An Elegant Defense, is the story of the science of the immune system told through four powerful medical stories. It brought me to a keen new understanding of life, longevity and happiness. I hope it does the same for you.
