Читать книгу Dialogues with Jen - Donald R. Fletcher - Страница 5

As often happens with writers, one book begets another. My Dialogues with Jay: On Life and Afterlife, based freely on the pattern of Plato’s Dialogues, saw five friends, representing three generations, come together to talk about a major theme. Here they are again, except that Jay, their leader, is replaced by Jennifer—Jen, and that they grapple now with some urgent situations of daily living.

I have drawn on experiences of family and friends, never with personal reference nor details, and on news of the world we all share. My aim is to be relevant, without being personally specific.

In the preparation of this book, as with several previous manuscripts, I have depended on my daughter Sylvia Fletcher, through many hours and days, for suggestions, corrections, and patient help. And, in addition, I have, again, availed myself of the counsel of my literary advisor Roger Williams, of Washington, DC.
