The Story of The Eternal Village
ESSAY PREFACE:
Across the sixty years of my life and the panorama of my career, this essay was the most difficult writing task I ever confronted and conquered.
None of what I achieved, or failed to accomplish, vis-à-vis my fascination with The Prisoner happened in a vacuum. Nope. That all happened whilst I chalked up a few triumphs and navigated a cavalcade of trials in the other arenas of my life.
Thus, what made writing this essay so difficult was the persistent, searing question:
“What if I hadn’t done all this Prisoner BS and I had put my energies elsewhere?”
But I didn’t. Instead, for a decade of my life, I devoted the lion’s share of my creativity and free time to manifest the efforts, escapades and endeavors detailed on the following 43 pages that tells . . . The Story of The Eternal Village.
