About the Book

"The story so far: I was born, we moved, then I went to school; then we moved again, and again, and a few more times; then I went to university, then to another university; then I went to Korea, then I went back to South Africa, and then I came to Taiwan. Then I wrote another few hundred pages to add to a few hundred pages I had written in previous years about why I do what I do. Then, while waiting for a train at a deserted station, it suddenly occurred to me that there is too much material to publish as a single book. Then the next day I went to pay my phone bill and on the way I thought of a title for a shorter book with selected material. Then I sat down behind the computer and wrote this text. There, the condensed version of my life so far, who I am, and how this book came into existence." --------------------- "If you have no home, no possessions, neither friend nor family, you do not do much while you are awake, you do nothing to make money, you hold no religious beliefs and you never have conversations or respond to what other people say, then who are you? What are you?" --------------------- CONTENTS Prologue 1997-1998 IDEALISTS and their conflict Reconciliation with the monster Commitment and place Story of two travellers 1999-2001 Icarus journal, entries # 13 15 To be remembered A most important lesson The purpose of my life The beautiful world Almost the end To talk about God 2003 Personal Agenda, Book One: Introduction Money and self respect - a few thoughts Word games Last outburst (before the end my vacation) Creative, fulltime Wealthy, in the world of money To be part of something bigger My current life The (real) value of money On the technical aspects of belonging and membership End contemplation, part one/The ultimate hope Belonging and mobile membership Who and what Three incidents On the next generation: Parenthood Just another piece of writing A thought brews in my head, part two Note on Christmas Day, 2003 Note on Saturday, 27 December 2003 2004 In the service of an idea Money and art Note on Monday, 19 January 2004 Note on Saturday, 24 January 2004 To be all right Note on Tuesday, 17 February 2004 Note on Wednesday, 18 February 2004 [The Big Untitled] The SELF is born (and other notes of a particular day) I own seven pairs of underwear ...
