Publisher's Synopsis
This 1996 project, the title of which owes something to Henry Miller's 'Book of Friends' in its informal structure and the subtitle of which is an oblique tribute to anything omega-orientated, is more informally cyclic than 'Eternal Life' (1995), its immediate precursor in John O'Loughlin's aphoristic canon, but remains, nonetheless, one of the most comprehensively exacting and demanding of all his philosophical works, and also, in the long run, one of the most thematically rewarding! - A Centretruths editorial
