DOWNLOAD EBOOKNovelist Hisako Matsubara has written an "autobiography" in the voice of her remarkable son, Mino. Saya (as Mino calls his mother) records her son's thoughts from his earliest years as a precocious pre-toddler, through his formal education, and on to the beginning and the ascent of his career as an astrophysicist at NASA. Alas, the rise of this brilliant star ends too early, when a tumor the size of a lemon intrudes and occupies space in his brain. Mino fights for his life, unwilling to leave before learning all there is to learn about the universe. This man has had a lot of experience resisting authority; it's a talent he discovered as a determined child when he challenged his stern father and sometimes won the skirmish. The ending seems to answer the Prelude: this hero isn't interested in anybody else's promise of an afterlife. He's not done exploring. This book, like the man who tells his story (with help from his mother) is fascinating, inspiring, and honest. The voice is full of wonder at the vast universe he explores through both telescope and microscope.
