Author's Note

From 1944 to 1955 Bill Wilson suffered a profound and mysterious depression which, when it has been considered at all, has never been satisfactorily accounted for. To explain, or at least understand the causes of this malaise is the purpose of the present volume.

Since the facts of his history as we know them have thrown so little light on the problem, I have not felt bound by a purely biographical or literal approach to his life to find the answer, if such be forthcoming. At the same time Bill W., A Strange Salvation is not entirely a novel either, but rather a creative work based on some of the facts of Wilson's life, while employing traditional techniques of imagination leavened and focused by the potency of meditative insight brought to bear upon all phases of the subject. Many of the scenes and mental struggles he is shown going through did not happen as far as we know―but they may have. Their inclusion is justified if, to the reader, they convince and illuminate.
