The World Inside My Head


Book Description

As a child of abuse, I didn't think I had a choice but to stay silent. That gave him just what he needed to groom me into the perfect silent adult who never asked anyone else for help because he had made it clear that I could never live without him. I overcame that programming with God's love and mercy. I went on to be his caregiver in the end through forgiveness. I could not watch my worst enemy die alone.With the help of God, I learned to be there for most of the people that I loved in their final days. I tried to be the person they needed me to be, to show them they were not alone because there is nothing worse than feeling alone and helpless.I learned that having a forgiving heart, in the long run, helped me more than the one being forgiven. It was therapeutic for me, and I wondered, Is this how God feels every time He has to forgive us over and over again? It was not the curse I believed it to be. It was a gift that God gave me out of love to help me survive the life that I had to live. Forgiveness was my saving grace.With God carrying me every step of the way, I survived and am here to try to help others survive it too. I just need God to continue to show me the way.

Inside My Head


Book Description

In this book of 69 poems, divided into four chapters, I wanted to burrow deep into my soul, through a process of the self-examination of my masculine psyche, my political consciousness and world views--shaped and mortised by my almost two decades long confinement on Pennsylvania's Death Row. The reader is given a front seat on a fast-moving train fleeting through the disconcerted lives of the women in Afghanistan, Death Row, a misguided young black juvenile's dreams, a frustrated would-be actress driven to murder, a bi-racial teen's suicide, my own crack-addicted sister's tortured life--and the tragic events of September 11, 2001, which shocked the consciousness of the nation and the world. Inside My Head is not just another glimpse of the topography of my mind--but raw testimony for readers far beyond these prison walls.

He was a Jew among Christians, a nonobservant Jew among believers. Louis Begley, himself a multilingual exile and, like Kafka, a lawyer and writer, renders Kafka’s life with sensitivity and insight.
