In 1940, when the Red-Headed Kid is born, sex is a subject that
never comes up. Men who openly want sex are perverts. Woman who
like sex are whores and homosexuals are social pariahs. But,
beneath the surface, things aren't what they seem. Kinsey is asking
questions that have never before been asked, and, as the fifties
commence, the subject begins to come out of the closet. No one is
supposed to DO it yet, but at least the world is beginning to
openly admit that it exists. Then, the sixties storm in. Margaret
Sanger legitimizes birth control, which frees women of the threat
of unwanted pregnancy, and all hell breaks loose. Over the course
of seventy years, the Kid experiences every minute of the sexual
revolution. From the 1940s, when sex is never mentioned, to "no sex
at all" in the 1950s, to "sex around the clock" in the sixties and
seventies, to "no sex" again when AIDS suddenly appears, and then
on to "endlessly dangerous sex" far too soon after that. In spite
of the book's overall sexual content, PART ONE of THE RED-HEADED
KID is not overtly sexual. It is the gentle story of a small boy
growing up in a warm family, a reminiscence of the forties and
early fifties. It chronicles the rise of the baby boomers, their
schools, their pets, their joys, and their problems. It discusses
parental relationships and the social norms that inform and shape
the attitudes of a generation that is taught never to grow old. It
is NOT specifically sexual, other than in the way we all experience
sexual thoughts as we come of age. Only the last chapter,
SPERMARCH, deals directly with the subject of sexual awakening, a
prelude to the evolution of our hero as he moves through the
fascinating years during which men and women can experience sex
without fear. It is a time of absolute freedom, the like of which
may never be seen again. PART ONE of THE RED-HEADED KID is
available on the Kindle from Amazon Books. PART TWO is scheduled
for publication in the late winter of 2014.
