Rosina Ruth Park
New Zealand 1917-2010
Her novel of the Sydney slums,
“The Harp in
the South,”
shocked Australians in the 1940s
but did not prevent her
from becoming one
of the country’s
most revered writers

Janine Pommy USA 1942-2010
a poet and intimate
of the Beat generation
luminaries
Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky
whose lifelong quest for transcendence
took
her to San Francisco in the 1960s
and on a pilgrimage to neolithic
goddess-worship sites in the 1980s

George Maurice Hopkins USA 1943-2010
writer whose 1970 novel
“Blueschild Baby” was greeted
as an important exploration
of the black urban experience
in the United
States
but who abruptly disappeared
from the literary
scene
as drugs took over his life

F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre UK / USA ? 1948-2010
F. GWYNPLAINE MacINTYRE
lived in two dimensions.
The F stood for Fergus.
That was how neighbors
in his working-class
neighborhood
in deep Brooklyn knew him:
a bearish pariah
holed up
in a fetid apartment stuffed
with a lifetime
of newspapers,
books, belongings
and all sorts of trash,
who worked nights
as a printer in Manhattan
and ranted
about his horrid childhood.
The F also stood for Froggy.
That’s what fans
in the rabid science-fiction world
on the Internet called him:
a witty and eloquent man prone
to using obscure words
and coining new ones,
who published numerous books,
articles and
short stories
to great acclaim
and spun fantastic tales
about his travels.

Dick Francis
by Tom Jenkins
Comment
Whip hand
After Dick Francis took a tumble
in the final seconds of the Grand National in
1956
he stopped racing and became a writer.
Now, after a six-year break, he's writing
again.

Norman Mailer USA 1923-2007
(born Nachem
Malech Mailer)
Norman Mailer
– when not
boozily brawling,
dosing himself
with
hallucinogenic drugs
and serially
fornicating –
was a man with
a sacred mission.
He regarded
himself as a prophet,
bringing bad
news to a society
that had
settled
into
consumerist complacency
during the
1950s.
Americans
believe
that they live
in God’s own country;
Mailer alerted
them
to “the
possible existence of Satan”,
who might be
residing next door
and quietly
assembling a private arsenal
for use on
Judgment Day.
Although Mailer
looked up
at the sky with
“religious awe”,
what he saw
there
was a
mushroom-shaped cloud
that he called
“the last deity”.
Humanity, he
declared,
was reeling
towards self-destruction.

Muriel Spark UK 1918-2006
(born Muriel Sarah Camberg)
known for her finely polished,
darkly comic
prose
and for the unforgettable
Miss Jean Brodie,
one of the funniest
and most sinister
characters
in modern fiction
(...)
Her work, unlocked from
her innermost memories
of her experiences
before and after
her conversion
to Roman Catholicism in 1954,
built a canon of short,
sometimes macabre,
sometimes humorous novels
that sought to pare away
the absurdities
of human
behavior.

Hunter S. Thompson on Outlaws
Video Blank on Blank PBS Digital
Studios
“I keep my mouth shut now.
I’ve turned into a professional
coward.”
- Hunter S. Thompson in 1967
As told to Studs Terkel (
http://studsterkel.org )
Hear more from this rare interview:
http://blankonblank.org/hunter-thompson
In the 1960s,
Hunter S. Thompson spent more than a year
living and drinking with members of the Hell’s Angels
motorcycle club,
riding up and down the California coast.
What he saw alongside this group of renegades on Harleys,
these hairy outlaws who rampaged
and faced charges of
attempted murder, assault and battery,
and destruction of property along the way
--all of this became
the heart of Thompson’s first book:
Hell’s Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga.
Shortly after the book came out,
Thompson sat down for a radio interview
with the one and only
Studs Terkel.
