David Jo Brown

Slap Shot Silences

David Jo Brown's life was short — he died before he was forty after a long illness. All the while he could write, he did, never making the reader aware of his own suffering, but - as a pacifist and a firm believer in the politics of Christianity - expressing his concern for life, and for other people, especially fellow sufferers.
