![]() ![]() The Mountain Shadow by Gregory David Roberts That's something I'll miss very much, now that I've retired from public life, and I've closed down my email accounts. I was strongly moved many times, and I cried when I read the stories of hope and redemption that readers sent to me. ![]() It was wonderful to receive thousands of emails from readers, and I was surprised and pleased when I saw that so many of them began by saying that they'd never written to an author before. I hope that some readers will finish TMS with a strengthened sense of our common humanity. ![]() We are what we were for the first hundred thousand years of our making. But what we are inside, most of us, almost all of us, is fairness, cooperation and courageous love. Economic and social forces are acting centrifugally, flinging humanist conceptions of our kind to outer rim ecosystems of thought. The more cybernetically connected we are, the more directly disconnected we are. Second, I hope that some readers will take away a passionate and well-constructed defence of our common humanity. It's a big commitment I'm asking them to make, and I hope they feel nourished by it at the end. Well, first, I'd hope they felt entertained. Former armed robber, prison escapee, and best-selling author Gregory David Roberts in 2005. ![]()
