Brushes with Death: & Brushes with Fame
About this audiobook
Both reckless and lucky, this serial survivor seeks meaning in a life full of brushes with death and passing glimpses of fame.
The life-threatening accidents and mishaps come in many shades: from full-fledged out-of-body experiences, to near misses and close calls, to highway mishaps, dodging bullets, edgy adventures, stupid risks, fights and wars; sometimes just witnessing disaster, or knowing others not so fortunate to escape it.
The narrator emerges with a guarded view of the shadowland of death, and brief tastes of the wonderland of stardom. Always coming back home again, chastised and forgiven, charged with fresh gratitude and humility.
