Goodbye For Now
The Red Frog, Cultural Marxist, Cranky Yankee, Kultur Kommissar and whomever else will be taking a long break from the May Day Books Blog. Or perhaps a final break. This is in order to help C.G. Gibbs concentrate on finishing a speculative fiction book, his third, about a coming revolution in the U.S., presently titled 'The Book of Revolution.' It is also to help in finally publishing a second book about white and blue collar class struggle that has been done for a long while, called 'Selling Away.' A first book called 'Factory Days' has already been published.
They have been remiss on both, with the Blog Borg sucking up
time and energy. Not to mention the fact
that fewer and fewer interesting left-ward books are being published. They all
seem to repeat what is pretty well known. The present and evolving Trump police state gives
a writer more materiel to make a credible factual fictional finish to a book on a U.S. revolution, which is half done at the moment.
The Blog has been going for 19 years. Others publish things on the Blog
occasionally, but no one is lined up yet to do it as a focus. We have made
frequent requests to various people to put their thoughts about a book,
political event, film, play, art installation, streaming series, magazine article, news story, announcement
or plain commentary into coherent words.
Only a few have taken us up on it. If you would like to write something
from the left, contact us.
However, the archive of 100s of reviews will stay open for perusing.
