Críticas
"Biologist Ken Lamberton sees so keenly and writes so gracefully, it's nearly impossible to stop reading him. That we locked him up for a crime that pits our very biological urges against our avowal to be ethical mammals makes this book even more irresistible. Its revelations, accusations, and deep humility jar us into rethinking multiple human messes we make, and to honor--or envy--his redemption." "Everyone concerned with America's burgeoning prison population--which is to say, all of us--should read Time of Grace for its dispassionate, disturbing portrait of contemporary prison life. At the same time, Lamberton's ability to find so much beauty behind barbed wire teaches us all how to live, if only we have the courage and discipline to look. Time of Grace should be read as an insider's sober and unsettling critique of corruption and mismanagement in America's prisons, but in a security-obsessed age it is equally important as a primer on how to find and cultivate faith." "Both a critique of the American prison system and a probing exploration of non-human and human nature."--Orion Magazine Both a critique of the American prison system and a probing exploration of non-human and human nature. Orion Magazine"
Reseña del editor
I hole up in my own cozy cubicle and write, considering ways to make the approaching Thanksgiving holiday not just another day in this place. In prison, hope faces east; time is measured in wake-ups.? Time of Grace is a remarkable book, written with great eloquence by a former science teacher who was incarcerated for twelve years for his sexual liaison with a teenage student. Far more than a prison memoir,? it is an intimate and revealing look at relationships?with fellow humans and with the surprising wildlife of the Sonoran Desert, both inside and beyond prison walls. Throughout, Ken Lamberton reflects on human relations as they mimic and defy those of the natural world, whose rhythms calibrate Lamberton's days and years behind bars. He writes with candor about his life, while observing desert flora and fauna with the insight and enthusiasm of a professional naturalist. While he studies a tarantula digging her way out of the packed earth and observes Mexican freetail bats sailing into the evening sky, Lamberton ruminates on his crime and on the wrenching effects it has had on his wife and three daughters. He writes of his connections with his fellow inmates'some of whom he teaches in prison classes, nd with the guards who control them, sometimes with inexplicable cruelty. And he unflinchingly describes a prison system that has gone horribly wrong, system entrapped in a self-created web of secrecy, fear, and lies. This is the final book of Lamberton's trilogy about the twelve years he spent in prison. Readers of his earlier books will savor this last volume. Those who are only now discovering Lamberton's distinctive voicepart poet, part scientist, part teacher, and always deeply, achingly human?will feel as if they are making a new friend. Gripping, sobering, and beautifully written, Lamberton's memoir is an unforgettable exploration of crime, punishment, and the power of the human spirit.
