An Index To Blood Scandal In Washington, D. C.
Theme parks today build these monstrous roller-coasters and give
them intimidating names like "Cyclone," "Hurricane" and "Colossus."
They try and scare you and ask you to test your courage for their
ride. Well, if they really wanted to scare you with the most
terrifying and awesome experience in human life, they should name
their ride "Love."
UNMAILED LETTERS is modern, blunt and powerful. The book is about a
woman struggling to extricate herself from a drug abusing husband
and the man who falls in love with her. It is not a book for
everybody. Millions of us, men and women alike, have had what we
believe to be great loves; ecstasy we've never known before only to
sink into loss's despair. So, UNMAILED LETTERS is informally
divided into three parts: pursuit, capture and loss/recovery.
Pursuit is fraught with both great expectation and frustration with
those expectations unmet. Ups and downs, just like everybody else's
relationship. Capture is best described by the line in the book, "I
haven't written much poetry lately. I feel like I'm living it." One
critic called the book's poetry "a portrait of the male psyche." It
is the recovery portion that makes this book valuable.
Mona Golabek, host of NPR's The Romantic Hours said of the poem,
Human Experience, read on her program the week of Sept. 23, 2002,
"It was so moving, such a testament to the human condition, to love
and loving, to desires and longing. I thought it was exquisite."
Shall we step on the roller-coaster?
Die Geschichte vom Eine-Welt-Fl sterer" ist eine unorthodoxe
Auseinandersetzung mit der Macht der Medien, der Macht des Kapitals
und der Macht der Suggestion: eine unterhaltsame, den Zeitgeist
karikierende Fiktion ber die M glichkeiten einer auf Hochtouren
laufenden Maschinerie der Meinungsmache und die potenziellen
Nebenwirkungen der Spielregeln des Totalen Marktes, die hier unter
dem Diktat ihrer eigenen Zw nge zu unerbittlichen Wohlt tern
werden. Der Zweck heiligt die Mittel - mit verbl ffendem Happy End
nach einem mit Spannung erwarteten globalen Rennen, dem sich kein
Potentat entziehen kann: Die Medien diktieren die weltweite
Eintracht und das Ende der Gier. Das globale Kapital finanziert es.
Weil ihm nichts anderes brig bleibt.
