March 16, 2021 “The Believer” book cover. Author Ralph Blumenthal will discuss his new book, “The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack” in a live, online event at 5 p.m., Tuesday, March 23, sponsored by Lewes Public Library and Browseabout Books. “The Believer” tells the chilling true story of Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Mack, who famously studied and attempted to legitimize UFO abduction accounts – at the risk of his own career and credibility. Based on exclusive interviews and access to Mack’s archives, journals and psychiatric notes, Blumenthal’s book reveals the life and work of a man who explored the deepest of scientific conundrums, and leads readers to the hidden dimensions and alternate realities that captivated Mack until the end of his life.
