Books & Authors - March 2007

Okay let me be clear that in the past I have been a BIG fan of James Herbert and have read all of his books. However I decided today to make The Secret of Crickley Hall the last of his books that I will read as I feel he is past his peak.

Where is the irony and what is the analysis of this poem?

Your average tourist: Fiftly. 2.3
Times married. Dressed, this year, in Ferdi Planthower
Originals. Odds 1 to 9
Against her strolling past the Embassy.

Today at noon. Your average terroist:
Twenty-five. Celibate. No use for trends,
At least in clothing. Mark, though, where it ends.
People have come forth made of colored mist.

Unsmiling on one hundred million screens
To tell of his promp phone call to the station,
"Claiming responsibility" - devestation
Signed with a flourish, like the dead wife's jeans.

I was approached by someone asking permission to use one of my poems in a book. The book will also be translated into other languages so they need my permission to have the poem translated as well. In this situation, what kind of copyrights should I give? I don’t mind my work being used but I also want to retain rights to it. Also what kind of payment should I recieve? The request did not come with any payment offer. What amount is appropriate to ask? As a struggling writer, I would like to get paid. In the past, I have voluntarily given away too much of my writing for free. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

A lady was telling me about a child's story called Flat Sam. It is about a boy who is at the library and gets smushed by a falling bookcase. You take the flat doll cutout and mail it to several people. They in turn set Sam in front of several places and take his photo then send him back with descriptions of where he has been.

Does anyone know where i can get hold of a copy of the Neverending Story that was printed using red and green text? The ones on Amazon and other book retailers are very newly published so use just boring italics to distinguish between scenes in the real world and Fantastica. I would love to give a copy to my brother for his wedding present, he used to read it to me when i was little!!!

When you read novels set in small towns, do you prefer them to be actual towns? Or are made-up towns acceptable?

I'm not talking big cities, like L.A., NYC, etc. I'm talking about almost rural locations, small towns like Horton, Kansas or Ellettsville, Indiana. Or does it matter to you?

Learned here on YA that Murray Rothbard (in his book Man, Economy and State) was the first one to use the character Robinson Crusoe (in book by Daniel Defoe) for an economic model. In this model, the individual has to supply all of his wants and needs, and learn to hunt and farm and make furniture etc, etc.
Is it possible to here propose a Calpurnian Economic Model? According to the storyteller in Harper Lee’s book/movie (To Kill A Mockingbird), Calpurnia taught her son, Zeebo, to read the fonts used in printed books and participated with Miss Maudie, Aunt Alexandra in nurturing a daughter in the Finch family who had lost her mother. One of the daughters in the book, in the Ewell family by contrast, did not have three caring adults to help her grow to adulthood.

Dream


I died in a dream and was revived
I died when the sun exploded
The world was blackened
I could feel a lot of heat
and I could hear my thoughts

I died in a dream
Flying through the universe
Like a protector of the galaxy
In the middle of nowhere
