Oh wow! What a story.
As a young impressionable teen, I devoured all books and Richard Bach was one of my fav authors. Seagull, of course, but also One and the Adventures of the Reluctant Messiah (can’t recall the title). I loved his writing and gave copies to all my friends in high school / college.
Was especially popular among the girls, so that helped :)
Always wondered about his family. Would love to hear more about him if you’re willing to share.
- satisfice 9mo agoSpeaking of popular with the girls: my wife met me by targeting me specifically because I was the son of Richard Bach and she thought that meant I would understand her. In a 35-year unpublished longitudinal study, I have confirmed her theory. (I am always happy to talk to readers of Dad's work. my contact info is at satisfice.com)
- aanet 9mo agoGlad to hear her theory worked :) Happy for you I'll reach out separately, thanks! BTW, my fav book of his was the _Illusions_. Pls feel free to tell him that a young kind in SmallTown, India really loved it. Going by his wikipedia, he seems to be just a bit older than my dad. I couldn't have guessed at all.
- ssttoo 9mo agoAdd Bulgaria too. I liked Illusions but a good friend of mine was simply in love with it, bought and gave copies to everyone. And for his birthday last year I almost gave him a signed copy of the Seagull I saw at a local second hand bookshop in LA. I hesitated because of the price and when I came back it was gone.
