My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.
Maybe the kings were planning to welcome him into royalty, to ratify his membership in their exclusive club, but it didn't work that way and maybe instead they were invited into a new and deeper form of life.
