Riddled into this experimental open letter is the story of a man who made the "hero's journey" to another world and back again. The prize he won there, the ultimate boon, is knowing what he wants.
"Wisdom warns against desire, but there is power in wanting - power that can fuel the will and keep lit that precious torch, hope." This line stands as a rare moment of profundity in a largely light-hearted listen.
For all its references (and there are many), this audiobook maintains a brisk, entertaining pace. Plus, it has the potential to help people along in their thinking, to contest somewhat the negative stigma associated with schizophrenia, to foster pro-activity in the face of mental illness, and to aid in recovery. What Eugene Uttley wants is to be whole. The Boon is progress toward that state.
Being the thoughts of a schizophrenic in remission on increasing awareness of the infrangible connectedness to source and infinite whole, this creative nonfiction personal essay includes original and appropriated prose, poetry, song, prayer, memoir, travelogue, sketches of daily life, and literary exegesis.
