Now he's running from the police force that he used to work for, trying to get his ass out of the fire before they catch up to him

"Mac, Flying Higher" is not a story of my life. That would be way dull; rather, it is a "collection of recollections" of various "happenings" in my life. I didn't achieve any extraordinary goals during my lifetime, but I was fortunate, in that I had a very wide assortment of "careers", all of which provided me with much enjoyment and some disappointment. I have been a cowboy, a farmer, a Marine Drill Instructor, a Marine Attack Pilot, a Marine Jet Fighter Pilot, a Marine- Helicopter Pilot, a real estate salesman, broker, building contractor, developer and spec builder. Each occupation has in some way contributed to my education and mental attitude. Some were not sufficiently exciting or amusing to rate space in this manuscript so were not included. (You should thank me for that ) Anything that I learned from my various escapades probably arrived too late to be of any value to me, but if any wisdom seeps down to you, the reader, or some amusement is derived from these writings, my time and effort will all have been worthwhile.

Mac is currently unemployed and lives on his wife's earnings from her furniture restoration business. An avid reader, he decides at the age of sixty to keep a diary. Mac's wife, Carmen, a dyslexic born of dyslexic parents, thinks he is simply wasting his time and risking sliding further into depression--but Mac persists, and is determined that this diary will not turn into a novel. However, one day, he has a chance encounter with a near neighbor, a highly successful author who once wrote a collection of enigmatic, willfully obscure stories. Mac decides that, while he will not write his own stories, he will read, revise, and improve his neighbor's, which are mostly narrated by a ventriloquist who has lost the ability to speak in different voices. As Mac embarks on this task, he finds that the stories have a strange way of imitating life. Or is life imitating the stories? As the novel progresses, Mac becomes stranger and more adrift from reality, and both he and we become ever more immersed in literature: a literature haunted by death, but alive with the sheer pleasure of writing.
This stunning collection of images celebrates the remarkable career of Burnis "Mac" McCloud, Denver's premiere Black photographer between 1950 and 1980. His remarkable photographs, focused in Denver's Five Points community, captured the ordinary lives of African Americans during a period that witnessed the end of Jim Crow segregation and the beginning of the Civil Rights era.Assembled from more than one hundred thousand negatives that McCloud left behind, this collection introduces his creative work to the world beyond the Mile High city. Author William Wyckoff also tells McCloud's life story, revealing the challenges and vitality of Denver's Black community. At a time when much of what McCloud photographed is being swept away by gentrification and urban change, this collection of images preserves a time and place important not only for Denver but for all of Black America.
