Just Now, at Present
B. W. Beath
Over cocktails in an opulent setting, two unnamed interlocutors discuss the difficulty of living in the present, straddling the dimensionless border between the past and the future, struggling to escape the one, yearning to explore the other.
Carefully balanced, yet bristling with tension, this intoxicating book captures that moment of hesitation and indecision that we have all experienced, when we stand on the brink of something new, wondering whether to take the plunge.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bertram W. Beath, “BW” to those who know him best, was for a time a restaurant reviewer for Boston Biweekly. He is now a peripatetic flâneur, wandering here, there, and everywhere in search of beauty and pleasure. Beath is the alter ego of Matthew Barber, a boyhood friend of Peter Leroy, whose memoirs, The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences & Observations of Peter Leroy, are a voluminous work of fiction by Eric Kraft.
