The PAN American 727 set down on the tarmac of Tacoma International. Out the window Jack could see a gathering of at least a hundred war protesters carrying signs at the entrance to the airport terminal building. "God," he swore under breath. "Not another hot LZ!" He had the temerity to believe that after a year risking his life in the name of democracy, that he would return home a welcomed war hero. Instead he is treated with indifference and in some cases downright disdain. Job opportunities are few. And there were his war wounds, the nightmares, flashbacks and hyper-vigilance. A failed marriage after a year is insult to injury. Just when he's on the verge of giving up, the right girl comes along, and dashes the dark clouds away.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:I've published many short stories and four books.

"A sort of highly-gifted one" is an autobiographical testimony that narrates all my life, my course of "highly-gifted" (diagnosed in early childhood)."A sort of highly-gifted one" because I am a kind of highly-gifted, representative and at the same time singular.Everything is told under the psychological aspect, without self-censorship, always with the subjective look of who I was at each moment. I have conceived this book as a long version of the lectures that I give regularly, like in the opening of the "Surdouessence" symposias that I organize. Surdouessence is also an association that I created for the accompaniment of the highly-gifted people.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Alban Bourdy was born October 13th, 1983, near Paris.

In 2017, Alban created the association Surdouessence, which deals with… Read More
