There is no way I can possibly do justice to Dr. Farman’s Delayed Response in a short review. However, hopefully I can give some insight into this phenomenal book.
Being a rather impatient person, I was challenged throughout the book to look at waiting in a whole new light. The way he puts a positive spin on a topic that many of us might argue is a negative in our lives is absolutely phenomenal. He captivated me with his stories of the various ways humans have waited over a vast period time and has left me with so many questions about how I might now learn to be better at waiting and find the joy in the moment, rather than just passing the time to get to the next thing. His beautiful tribute to Private Joseph Coryell will be in my mind for a long time to come, as will his conclusion and call for a suggested alternate response to waiting. I am eager to share this with my middle school students and encourage them to consider the ways waiting impacts them every day.
I highly recommend this to anyone who has ever had to wait for anything.
