This is an exciting if not rambling account of events of Raymond
Smullyan's four lives - as a mathematical logician, musician,
magician, and author - together with thoughts that come to his mind
as he recalls them. This book includes topics from some of
Smullyan's twenty-six books, as well as many of his favorite
anecdotes and jokes. It also presents some generalizations of
theorems of the great logicians Goedel and Tarski, and discusses
logic in general, and how he won his wife with a logic trick!
Smullyan also relates some of his teaching experiences, and
expresses his views on mathematical education, and how our present
textbooks are primarily responsible for its decline! About his life
as a pianist, Smullyan relates a good deal about his experiences
with the Piano Society - a wonderful organization to which he is a
staunch contributor, and how he has had such delightful relations
with many of its members. Last but not least, Smullyan recounts how
he has known some lovely ladies over the years.
