A Walk in the Twilight: A Librarian Searching for Questions by John J. Bosco Jr. is a deeply personal journey through memory, family, love, loss, poetry, philosophy, and the enduring search for meaning.
Born and raised in New York City in an Italian-American family, John Bosco looks back on the people and experiences that shaped his life. From his childhood home and complicated relationship with his parents to his education, military service, marriage, career as a librarian, and later years, he revisits a lifetime of moments with honesty, humor, tenderness, and self-reflection.
But this is more than a memoir.
Throughout his life, Bosco has been drawn to the questions that have no easy answers. What is the meaning of existence? Does God exist? Do we truly possess free will? What happens after death? What is consciousness? Are our lives governed by fate, chance, or choice? And how should we understand our brief journey through an enormous and mysterious universe?
Through memoir, poetry, essays, humor, and philosophical reflection, Bosco explores these questions without pretending to possess all the answers. His observations are personal, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, and often deeply contemplative.
A Walk in the Twilight invites readers to look backward at their own lives while looking forward into the great mysteries that remain beyond our understanding. It is a book about family and memory, but also about mortality, spirituality, human nature, love, loss, and the lifelong search for truth.
For readers who enjoy literary memoirs, philosophical reflections, poetry, spirituality, and thoughtful explorations of life's biggest questions, this is an intimate and thought-provoking invitation to walk alongside an author still searching for answers.
