About the Book

Faced with the loss of his mentor, Apaullo Newman was thrust upon a journey in life that forced him to come to grips with the reality of his subjective world juxtaposed with the reality of his external (objective) world.

About the Author

Although The Candidate is Paul’s fi rst published work, his interest in the written word can be traced to his childhood. As a youth his mother stressed to him and his siblings the need to “learn the man’s language.” He relates how she brought home an old, out-of-date Merriam Webster dictionary that remained in the house until her death. As a youngster, words, phrase and quotes seemed to appeal to his developing intellect. He would later earn a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Illinois. Paul currently resides in the Chicago area.
