Literature Don't hesitate to suggest your favorite works and why. Subjects under consideration The War Prayer: Mark Twain Samuel Clemens said this book could not be published until after his death "because only dead men are free to tell the truth." This tale, told in the form of a lyric poem, expresses the horror visited upon the vanquished as a result of prayers of the conquerors for victory. Nickel and Dimed: Barbara Ehrenreich On (Not) Getting By in America: "Drunk on dot-coms and day trading, America has (had) gone bline to the downside of its great prosperity." Now, as the reality of downsizing has affected us all, "Ehrenreich experty peels away the layers of self-denail, self-interest, and self-protection that separate the rich from the poor, the served from the servers, the housed from the homeless. This brave and frank book is ultimately a challenge to create a less divided society." NAOMI KLEIN Send comments to hereticcoyote@aol.com |
