Reading:
I just finished this one when I started this list. From sometime
in January, 2005, to January 30, 2005.
Specs:
Brewer, Gene, K-PAX III: The Worlds
of Prot, Published by Bloomsbury press, London, 2002. Johnson
County Central Resource Library book.
Overview:
Prot is back. Giselle and Robert
Porter have a son (named Gene after his Psychiatrist). Robert is
washing Gene jr., and suddenly Prot is back, and Robert is not there,
so Robert is back at MPI. Prot claims not to have left but to have
been seeing the world.
Again, Prot helps the patients, even
talking with the autists. Gene cannot find Robert, who is very
catatonic, but he is able to talk to the alternate personalities.
It is obvious that there are more serious problems.
It is discovered that Robert blames
himself for the death of his father because his father downed while
Robert was supposed to be taking care of him. He never fully
recovers in the novel.
At the end, Prot takes 100 "beings"
to K-PAX, including a lot of animals, and people not from MPI. They
are in public and just disappear.
I think the author may have gotten a
bit tired of the story by the end. It sounded that way to me,
anyway.
