He has been called the greatest surgeon of the 20th century. The son of Lebanese immigrants, Michael DeBakey rose from humble beginnings in a backwater Louisiana town to dominate the landscape of modern medicine.

Solitude is the inspirational core for many writers, artists, and thinkers. Alone with our thoughts, we can make discoveries that matter not only to us but to others. To be solitary is not only to draw sustenance from being alone, but to know that our ultimate responsibility is not only to our partner or our own offspring, but to a larger community. Fenton Johnson's lyrical prose and searching sensibility explores what it means to choose to be solitary and celebrates the notion that solitude is a legitimate and dignified calling.

It was an ordinary day in 2016. In Gatwick Airport, Jonathan and his wife, Anna, were having breakfast with their two little children while waiting for their flight to be called. And then it happened, a familiar sensation that Jonathan hadn't had for decades: an out-of-body experience that transported him to another place, the safe place he used to escape to in his mind when he was a boy.

This is a soft place for real life — the kind that doesn’t have clean answers or perfect timing. It’s for the moments when you’re not who you used to be, but you’re not quite sure who you’re becoming yet. The waiting. The unlearning. The quiet strength it takes just to keep going.

A friend suggested it's time to write my book. I said no. Even though I've wanted to write a book for most of my life, that desire is now gone. She knows me well, and she knows my stories well too.

Now, I am not an author, editor or publisher. I don't know how to write a book nor do I know what to ...
