Don’t Turn Back
This is my next large canvas print. I’ve been making original artist prints through a gallery in Los Angeles. They measure 68″ x 38″. They are original works created from images used in my film Yellow Plastic Raygun. They are not exact frames from the film, but rather artworks based on segments of the film.
A Barefoot Reader of Ulysses
That’s Marilyn Monroe reading James Joyce’s Ulysses. That look on her face – a mix of befuddled interest and confused determination – is exactly how I read Ulysses. Monroe apparently kept a copy of the book in her car and stuck with the damn thing for a long time. You’ve got to wonder about this woman. She probably should have stayed far away from Kennedy and stuck a little closer to the things she really liked.
Strangely enough, it happens to be June 16th which is worldwide Bloomsday, when Ulysses is celebrated with public readings.

Audio Podcast Novel: Robinson Crusoe (Part 13)
DOWNLOAD ROBINSON CRUSOE – PART 13
Cannibals come to Crusoe’s island and make him believe there is a possibility of confrontation. But in this section of the book Crusoe meets his companion, Friday. He considers this man to be his servant and slave. An odd assumption since it is actually he, Robinson Crusoe, who is the intruder in Friday’s part of the world. This must have something to do with the way certain nations operated in those days and, in some cases, still do.
At any rate, Crusoe begins to teach Friday English and becomes more assured of their friendship.

Per l’Italia! More of our story!
This is one of the great gifts from Italy to the children of the world. Carlo Collodi’s 1883 masterpiece, The Adventures of Pinocchio, is the story of the wooden marionette who desperately wants to be a real boy. His adventures are full of mischief, wonder, sadness, joy, treachery, danger and all the exuberant life of a real Italian boy. This is the English translation by Carol Della Chiesa.
