One the writers I first read in prison is winner of the Nobel, has again run afoul of the Turkish government as as reported by The Guardian:
Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk is being investigated by the Turkish state for “insulting” the founder of modern Turkey and ridiculing the Turkish flag in his new novel Nights of Plague.
This is what authoritarian government looks like. We do not need it here.

What a mess of things! Journals from 2010 and onward until today (still not got all the old ones on - yet). Stuff that just interests me - writing, books, music, politics. Yes, another old white guy shooting his mouth off - but trying to show what he has learned and hoping it can be fun for you. Enjoy. Learn. It is all your choice how to use this blog, but it is meant to have a use. The day we stop learning is the day we die.
