Description
Le Bertrand Assorted Reflections contains reflections of personal experiences that are sometimes amusing, and is interspersed with discussions that attempt to address some less frivolous, elemental issues of human existence from a Caribbean Islander in the USA. Le Bertrand's reflections are often amusing, and always interesting, particularly the manner in which he contemplates how some enduring ideas influenced (or could have better influenced) his life. He firmly believes that certain enduring philosophical, scientific, metaphysical or spiritual ideas from past to present need to be revisited frequently.
The result is a collection of ten chapters presented as Le Bertrand's reflections of some humorous anecdotal experiences, the attention to some enduring ideas as related to his experiences, and more importantly their potential contribution to the common good.
The common themes include the author's thoughts, search and attempts to experience a more meaningful life beyond the focused pursuit of accumulating wealth or the mere satisfaction of salacious appetites. The author tries to maintain objectivity by presenting 'Le Bertrand' as his alter ego, and sometimes derives great pleasure laughing at him.
Le Bertrand Assorted Reflections is often amusing but, most importantly, always thought-provoking.
