William Guthrie is a student of the human condition, wielding the written craft to enrapture the mind much like an artist wields a brush. The pages are a blank canvas on which to draw from a talent heralded by many and matched only by an imagination that rises to the task. Bartica (Gateway to the Interior of Guyana) is the first in a series of recent pursuits, with work progressing quickly on the follow-up.

Book Excerpt
This particular story shows different aspects of our lives in the small village or the larger town. From our own cultural and historical perspective, this story teaches us about ourselves and provides us with lessons learned through the ordinary and the extraordinary. In the telling and retelling of the story, we may yet discover jewels of wisdom if we but take the time to search for them in the deeper wells of education and experience understood in the broadest sense of these terms. Come with me on a quest for meaning and value as we sail across the landscape of a small village on the South American Continent far away and long ago.
