The Reluctant Bigamist

Meer over het boek

Tim Atsen came to the USA somewhat reluctantly as a married and well-rounded PhD student. He quickly achieved sterling success, ending up with a beginning professor's position in a city university. To keep that job, he needed US permanent residency. Getting impatient to wait out a protracted visa quest started by the university, he got persuaded to delve into the murky world of quasi-marriage to a US citizen. But that soon unraveled, and Tim found himself facing a serious charge of bigamy. Lyn Thomas-Ogbuji has lived a fulsome life of eclectic pursuits - soldier, scholar, teacher, scientist, and entrepreneur - in six countries on three continents. Following successive careers as an academic (engineering) and scientist (at NASA), he retired into the happy bustle of nurturing his sixteen lively grandchildren. Retirement has also afforded Lyn the leisure to further his lifelong avocation: a fascination with history and literature.
