More
informally cyclic than Eternal Life (1995), this 1996 project combines aphorisms
with notes in what is one of the most comprehensively exacting and demanding of
all my textural works, but also, in the long run, one of the most thematically
rewarding. The title derives its
structure from Henry Miller’s Book of Friends, but I now find that the
HTML version of this work could more aptly be described as ‘Scroll of Beliefs’,
since what one has with this kind of presentation is closer to being an
e-scroll, as it were, than an e-book. - John O'Loughlin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John O’Loughlin was born in Salthill, Galway, the Republic of Ireland, of mixed Irish- and British-born parents in 1952. Following a parental split due to ethnic and other incompatibilities (they called her 'Mary Aldershot'), he was
brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to
Ireland with intent to stay following the death of her British-based husband) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended schools
in Aldershot and, following the death and repatriation of his Irish-born grandmother,
Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, where, despite an enforced change of denomination
from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into care by his mother, he attended a state school. Graduating in 1970 with an
assortment of CSE’s (Certificate of Secondary Education)
and GCE’s (General Certificate of Education),
including history and music, he moved the comparatively short distance up to London and went on, via two
short-lived jobs, to work at the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford Square,
where he eventually became responsible for booking examination venues. After a brief flirtation with Redhill
Technical College back in Surrey, he returned to his former job in the West End
but retired from the ABRSM in 1976 due to a combination of factors, including
ill-health, and proceeded to dedicate himself to a literary vocation which, despite a brief
spell as a computer tutor at Hornsey YMCA in the late '80s and early '90s, he
has effectively continued with ever since. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976),
An Interview Reviewed (1979), Secret Exchanges (1980), Sublimated Relations (1981), and False Pretences (1982). From the mid-80s Mr O'Loughlin has exclusively dedicated himself to philosophy, his
true literary vocation, and penned more than sixty titles of a
philosophical nature, including Devil and God – The Omega Book (1985-6), Towards
the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988-9),
Philosophical Truth (1991-2), Maximum Truth (1993), Last (W)rites (1995), and, more recently, The Best of All Possible Worlds (2008) and The Centre of Truth (2009). John O'Loughlin has continued, since 1974, to live at various addresses in Crouch End and Hornsey, north London, but would like, one day, to return to Ireland.
