From the Cyclops Cave

A Braided Memoir

De: Don Schofield

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

“As epic in scale as the Greek tales of the land this story is ultimately built upon, Don Schofield’s saga of growing up is a bildungsroman writ large.”—Liz Stephens, Director, Mojave Desert Arts

“Poignant and profound. From the Cyclops Cave looks backward and inward—and isn’t this something we should all do?”—Sharman Apr Russell, author of Standing in the Light: My Life as a Pantheist

A braided memoir of resilience, self-discovery, and the search for home.

From the Cyclops Cave: A Braided Memoir intertwines past and present, weaving a turbulent childhood in 1950s California with an adult life shaped by solitude on the Cycladic islands of Greece. Abandoned by his father and raised by strangers, the author grows up yearning for connection; decades later, in a primitive hut locals call the Cyclops Cave, he finds both refuge and reckoning. Through braided chapters moving between memory and the immediacy of Greek island life, this poignant memoir explores resilience, identity, and the lifelong journey to belong.
