Flotsam: A Life in Debris by Denis Horgan, Merle Nacht (Illustrator)

Product Details

Synopsis

Veteran journalist Denis Edward Horgan draws from a rich career of ground-level experience to discuss life’s core lessons in this dynamic memoir. A vibrant perspective is presented on the central themes of humanity—strength, heroism, challenges, faith, and love—in a series of touching, humorous anecdotes. Each true story corresponds to one of the numerous souvenirs on Horgan’s desk, from a rubber ducky to a strawberry-flavored condom. While the settings range from Burma to Washington, DC, the stories are unified by a central theme: the complexity and beauty of human life.
