John Fadely lived in Asia for 30 years, including practicing law for 25 years in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore. His book, Before Leaving the Island, explores the space between worlds: between here and there, between what was known and what is unknown. With sonic resonance and rich imagery, Before Leaving the Island chronicles a mid-life journey, creating a complex personal tapestry unsure of what’s next but generously following the mind’s warp and weft. Listen to John read selections from the book and take us on a journey from Asia to his current home in Northern California.
