Speechless
(an autobiography of child murder and rape)
When Robert Ben Mitchell asked me to review his autobiography, I accepted based on the lone fact that he had a telling story about his child abuse. And I generally understood that he needed his story, his message of abuse to coincide with the Pennsylvania grand jury report about Catholic priest being abusive in August of 2018.

Les Clés de Tropic Books de Henry Miller
“I had just made the realization that life is indestructible.”
The Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller were banned in the United States of America for obscenity reasons that deemed each book as pornographic.

Tom Wolfe Gets Back to Blood
Tom Wolfe Gets Back to Blood is a film about Tom Wolfe’s study of the Magic City. I learned a great deal about his nature for retaining the social environment of people. While he walked around Miami scoping, telescoping, noting, writing, and interacting with different people, you felt as if you were walking with this man in the white suit.
As a Miamian I could truly appreciate the footage of the great author ambling through the city with respect to our culture.

‘Why so late’ was a hopeful extension to tell Estella that he was not going to this event. Read more [...]
