Grandaddy Drove An Oldsmobile is a tale of the 1950's about two
skinny twin urchins living in the colonial and historic village of
Worthington, Ohio. Their adventures encompass exploring the woods
and ravines in Davy Crocket coonskin hats and walking around with
their cowboy hats and fanner fifties revolvers. Their love of
American cars, family members who are vivid characters, emerging
rock and roll music, and their creation of havoc in the village is
well told. This is a tale of the innocent years before
assassinations, and an asian war that damaged the American psyche
itself.
Driving To The Darkness is a story of the 1960's about Splinters
and Boomer in a decade of an asian war, anti war protests,
assassinations in the country, civil rights, pot smoking and
wonderful rock 'n roll music that the twins collected and listened
to endlessly. It begins with the calm of the early sixties and a
young president being elected to office. It shows the violence and
near civil war that followed, as the psyche of the country became
damaged from President Kennedy's killing to other killings and
violence. The decade was also the emergence of incredible singers
and songwriters, Bob Dylan and The Beatles. The intensity and fury
of life in America became frightening on a national and a personal
level.
Political, social and racial discrimination in inter-war England
explored through one case study of the corrupt antiques market. In
1922, Adolphe Shrager having made his fortune during the First
World War, approached the London dealer Basil Dighton for advice on
purchasing antique furniture. Dighton sold him about five hundred
items but shortly afterwards Shrager discovered that one of his
'collector's pieces' was judged to be a fake and grossly
over-priced, and he sued. The trial, held in early 1923, became a
cause celebre, but it can be viewed as a case study of a much wider
set of social and cultural concerns: the fact that Shrager lost
both the first trial and the appeal, despite demonstrating on
numerous occasions that he had a clear case against Dighton, raises
questions of race, prejudice and class, where the establishment
closed ranks against Shrager, the nouveau riche Jew and alleged war
profiteer. This book - the first on the Shrager Dighton case - is
the result of the author's original archival research.
