Clifford - Harold R. Johnson

Interesting book.  Interesting mix.  Part childhood memoir, part memorial to his brother, part speculative musings on the structure and nature of the universe.  The reader bounces from life on in an isolated corner of boreal Saskatchewan to the nature of time and black holes.  Woven in are moments of self-criticism, glimpses of what has made this complex man, and asides on the unjust treatment of natives in Canada.  

Kicks off with a quote from one of the characters of Dune...
