Gwyn, Richard ![]() |
Abstract
In 2006, Richard Gwyn was given a year to live unless a suitable liver donor were found. A novelist and poet, he lost nine years of his life to vagrancy and alcoholism in the Mediterranean, principally Spain and Crete. This memoir is an account of his "lost" years; of addiction and reckless travel; serial hospitalizations; redemption via friendship, imagination, literature, love and fatherhood; recovery; living with viral hepatitis, and the life-saving gift of a liver graft.
