review 1: I love his Star Wars books, so I picked this up. It's funny and gives you a lot of food for thought, so it's a worthwhile light read. It contemplates his relationship with God, as well as his father and son. It's not a true memoir in the sense that it sort of skims events and focuses on very specific ones, but it's an interesting slice of life, particularly if you've questioned your faith or have kids.
review 2: I have only read snippets of Jeffrey Brown's work here and there, so I was unfamiliar with his scenic style until picking up A Matter of Life. The short slices of life he depicts between the book's covers resonate together in an intriguing way. They clue the reader in to both the smallness and grandeur of the universe, and how we learn the most about... more ourselves, our relationships, and our cosmos by putting the picture together one piece at a time. There's a lot of funny material here, along with tense family moments, and one gross image with a tapeworm I will never forget. And while I may always prefer deeper dives into faith and impermanence, such as Blankets, A Matter of Life lays out some of the same material, more gently -- and in some ways, more elegantly. less
