I offer The Diary of Atonement as a work on identity, a work which challenges the mind to think for itself. Its target reader is (s)he who finds traditional/conventional thinking wanting, and who hungrily seeks more. For me, to say of an identity that “it is itself” says not that an identity is a oneness (so tradition) but that it is two-faced—as a paradox. It means that an identity is an atonement, an at-oncement, as at once good and evil, necessarily so, and that identity as such is far, far, more than either of its faces. I invite you to find the book provocative, inviting your criticism, as a mind-challenging exercise in thinking for yourself. And why not? January, 2018.
