Rhyddwr writes about the ways societies make absurd things seem reasonable, and how people become trapped among competing voices, borrowed meanings, and ready-made narratives until their grip on reality begins to weaken. His work is comic, philosophical, and occasionally suspicious that Homo sapiens may not be handling the experiment particularly well.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for reaching out — and for telling me a bit about the book. I had a look at the sample. I should probably say that memoirs, especially inspirational memoirs, aren’t really what I usually read, so I’m probably not the ideal reader for it.

But I really appreciate you offering to send me a copy, and I hope the book finds the readers it’s meant for.

All the best,
Rhyddwr

Jim Stavis Hi Rhyd,

Great to connect! I noticed you're also into reading I recently wrote a memoir, When Hope Is Your Only Option, about surviving three organ transplants and rebuilding my life after being told to give up hope.

If you'd be interested in giving it a read, I'd be happy to send you a copy it's currently on Kindle Unlimited and $0.99 to buy as well. Would love your honest thoughts if you do.

Warmly,
Jim
