The Global View by W L Liberman
Young Ephraim Goldman is the author of a perennial bestseller. A celebrated academic lion, he hobnobs with the movers and shakers of his era, such as Einstein, Berenson and Bertrand Russell. Ephraim's son Bernard is a young writer, desperate to make his own reputation in the literary world. After a shrewd publisher hires Bernie to write his father's biography, he stumbles across a startling photograph. As the mystery of his father slowly unfolds, Bernard has to come to terms with both the present and the future. But in the end, can he repair his relationship and begin to understand his father or will long-kept secrets destroy their family?
W.L. Liberman believes in the power of story telling but is not a fan of the often excruciating psychic pain required to bring stories to life. Truthfully, years of effort and of pure, unadulterated toil is demanded. Not to sugar coat it, of course, writing is a serious endeavor. It is plain, hard work. If you've slogged away at construction work, at lumber jacking, delivery work, forest rangering, sandwich making, truck driving, house painting, among other things, as I have, writing is far and beyond more rigorous and exhausting. At the end of a long, often tedious, usually mind cracking process, some individual you don't know pronounces judgment and that judgment is usually a resounding 'No'. This business of writing is about perseverance and stick-to-it-iveness. When you get knocked down and for most of us, this happens frequently, you take a moment to reflect, to self-pity, then get back at it. You need dogged determination and a thick skin to survive. And an alternate source of income. W.L. Liberman is currently the author of nine novels, eight graphic novels and a children's storybook. He is the founding editor and publisher of TEACH Magazine; www.teachmag.com, and has worked as a television producer and on-air commentator. He holds an Honours BA from the University of Toronto in some subject or other and a Masters in Creative Writing from De Montfort University in the UK. He is married, currently lives in Toronto (although wishes to be elsewhere) and is father to three grown sons.
