2014-04-16 00:35:02| Powells Books Events Calendar
Paul O'Rourke is a man made of contradictions: he loves the world but doesn't know how to live in it. He's a Luddite addicted to his iPhone, a dentist with a nicotine habit, a rabid Red Sox fan devastated by their victories, and an atheist not quite willing to let go of God.
