Bold and Eclectic: An assortment of autobiographical, philosophical, and other thoughts

This project combines autobiographical with philosophical material in such a way as to harmonize with the author’s customary approach to anything remotely resembling an autobiography which, as on previous occasions, could not materialize were it not for his ongoing or, in this instance, consummate commitment to philosophy, which has always been his raison d’être for writing and therefore justification for anything else, including autobiography, as though the reverse of Henry Miller.  In this, the third such project, the combination of the two approaches to literature is brought to a veritable apotheosis, and it would be no surprise if this paradoxically turned out to be Mr O’Loughlin’s best example yet of this hybrid genre – a fitting climax to a unique vocation.
