A Somewhat Incautious Life: The Many Near Deaths of John Huizinga
THE MANY NEAR DEATHS OF JOHN HUIZINGA (A SOMEWHAT INCAUTIOUS LIFE) is an unconventional memoir. John Huizinga has almost died a great number of times and in a large variety of ways. His near death stories are the connecting tissue in this series of short windows into a long life. His experience spans from occupied Holland in WWII and immigrant life in Canada, to helping to clear land to build the Bennett dam and the early days of treeplanting in British Columbia. There are episodes of smuggling operations across the Mexican border, running refugee camps for Doctors Without Borders and trying his hand as a spy in Vietnam and Cambodia as well as further NGO work with the Buddhist nuns in the Zanskar river valley. One thing is for sure, his life choices left a lot of stories in their wake.
