About the Book

From the Cyclops Cave: A Braided Memoir intertwines past and present, weaving a turbulent childhood in 1950s California with an adult life shaped by solitude on a Cycladic island in Greece. Abandoned by his father and raised by strangers, the author grows up in foster families and Catholic children’s homes yearning for connection. Decades later, in a primitive hut locals call the Cyclops Cave, he finds both refuge, reckoning and community. Through braided chapters moving between memory and the immediacy of Greek island life, this poignant memoir explores resilience, identity, and the lifelong journey to belong.
