Recovering Maurice

Martin Zelder

4.9/5 (26981 ratings)

Description:Rumpled sixtyish professor Maurice thinks he has a good life—wife, home, job—before it is turned upside down by a chance encounter with a mysterious woman reading a book about trauma. Once he starts to think about trauma, he finds his earlier life to be littered with it—his brother Emil’s devastating childhood neurological damage, his own developmental struggles, his professional and personal failings, his lifelong encounters with malevolent characters, a perished pet chameleon, even people’s persistent failures to pronounce his surname Obster correctly (with a long o). New ventures, like a book club he starts at a dive bar, are ill-fated, and other perils arise—betrayal, mortality, despair—culminating in Emil’s death, leaving Maurice reeling. Staggered by these new traumas, Maurice seeks to find the basis for recovery in love, faith, nature, community, and perhaps himself. Recovering Maurice is a moving and precarious tale of disabilities visible and invisible, injustice, humor amidst frailty, and ultimately of a vulnerable person’s fitful search for recovery.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
