Francis O’Hara

Dedicating his morning meditation in California to Francis O’Hara, a long-time friend and enthusiastic follower of The Idiot who passed away in Nice, France, this week.

Francis O’Hara, who walked with The Idiot in Nice in 2011, was involved in various forms of writing, particularly for the Cambridge University Press. Here’s a short review he wrote about The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean in 2008:
“A brave and unique story from a naturally talented writer, weaving with
commendable, self-deprecating humour hard-won lessons drawn from the
author’s colourful life, with those gained on this amazing hike around the
Mediterranean, all of it laced with erudite seams of wisdom from Homer’s The
Odyssey. This deserves a prize for originality and sheer daring.”
