Synopsis
In 1947, Alvin Schwartz wrote what the New York Times called perhaps the first existential novel in America. And as a friend to Saul Bellow, Jackson Pollock and some of the best minds in psychology and physics, he was part of a rich intellectual world. Now, toward the close of his life, the sum of his experiences has led Schwartz to a new place, and onto a new path. In his compelling and powerful spiritual memoir, Schwartz leads us from a heartfelt skepticism of things unseen to a bright new awareness of possibility. An Unlikely Prophet is a remarkable personal testament on the relationship between what we experience and what we believe.
For fans of Carlos Castaneda, Richard Bach, and Dan Millman.

About the Author
Alvin Schwartz wrote both the Superman and Batman newspaper strips and many other comic book titles during the Golden Age of comics in the 40's. Mr. Schwartz is also the author of two philosophical novels, The Blowtop, once described by the New York Times as perhaps the first conscious existentialist novel in America, and No Such Mirrors. Recipient of a prestigious Canada Council Horizons grant given for work extending the perspectives of the social sciences, he also authored three pseudonymous novels for Arco Press, scripted feature films and wrote and researched numerous docu-dramas for the National Film Board of Canada. He lives in Ontario.
Reviews
Readers will likely profit from this, one of the first books from DIVINA, a new imprint of MacMurray & Beck devoted to "speculative" books. Schwartz is famous for writing the Superman comic strip in the 1940s. In a lecture, Schwartz relates that Superman developed a life of his own, meaning he inspires the seven-foot-tall Tibetan Mr. Thongden to find Schwartz. Thongden is a tulpa, brought to life through the meditative thought of another human. That human has died, and Thongden needs Schwartz to meditate on him so he does not starve. Thongden's tales and visions keep Schwartz focusing on him, while he leads Schwartz to meditate on personal identity, multiple consciousnesses, modern physics, and Superman. Schwartz finds some things he experiences with Thongden hard to believe, but harder still is convincing his wife--until she experiences a vision of her own. The finely crafted narrative will hold readers' attention, and the speculations in this "spiritual autobiography" (as Schwartz calls it) will give even skeptics plenty of food for thought.
