"My brain was famous, but I was not. Not every gifted child invents a
pollutant-free fuel, paints a masterpiece, or finds the cure for
cancer," Jack MacLeod tells us. "Some of us just live out our lives."
Jack died in 1974; now, he's ready to narrate his story from beyond the
grave. Jack's prodigious memory, which allows him to memorize books, and his
penchant for psychic connections give him unusual insights into the
events of his past life and make him fiercely curious about his current
state of existence. Jack immerses us in interconnected tales of his
childhood participation in a research study on the intellectually
gifted, his dual career as a clinical psychologist and university
professor, his participation in the unmasking of an unscrupulous
colleague, his long-term health issues, his brief but life-changing love
affair with a student, his deep friendship with another man, and his
eventual acceptance and celebration of the circumstances of his fate.
How Jack dies, and how he deals with the murder of someone close to him,
mirrors how he has lived and grown, and marks the significance of
everyone and everything that ultimately brings him to yet another level
of brilliance.
