Shortly after Jim's death, Pike returned to Cambridge, where he was suddenly afflicted by a series of inexplicable experiences. Clocks in his apartment kept stopping at 8:19-the hour when James Jr. had died in New York. Books and cards kept toppling over to an angle that matched that of the hands of a clock at 8:19. Eventually, Pike consulted an Anglican cleric who was interested in psychic phenomena; he suggested that Jim was trying to get in touch with Pike from the beyond and recommended the bishop to a "sensitive" named Ena Twigg...
Thanks in part to his conversations with young Jim, Bishop Pike now accepts the idea of a life after death-a belief that he at one point had abandoned, along with faith in the virgin birth, the Trinity and other major Christian dogmas.

He discussed hop pickers in Kent; nit pickers in the academic world of Oxbridge; the habits of male prostitutes in Trafalgar Square and intellectual prostitutes in the BBC's Portland Place. Down and Way Out. By all the laws of bloodlines and training, George Orwell should...
...most autobiographical play and his one masterpiece, Long Day's Journey Into Night: "I will always be a stranger who never feels at home, who does not really want and is not really wanted, who can never belong, who must always be a little in love with death." But even in a biography more notable for detail than for new perceptions, the accumulated O'Neill agonies still produce a power beyond themselves, just as they do in his plays...
