The Great Redstone (Fiction)
Kevin Bartelme
July 25th 2010
Martin Seward’s soujourn in the country is about to take an unexpected turn for the better, at least for those last golden, sunlit days of summer. However, the fateful intersection of his cousin Alicia and his neighbor Dacron Redstone will eventually lead to consequences that can only be described as disastrous. At least if you have no sense of humor. Bartelme’s comical account of life with the summer people will make you wonder if that country house is really worth it and just how much have things changed since F. S. Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby. The Great Wall of New York and O'Rourke: another slop sink chronicle are other titles by Kevin Bartelme that can be seen at coolgrove.com

in Delusions of Normality: Sanity, Drugs, Sex, Money and Beliefs in America brooklyn resident J P Harpignies gives us a penetrating tour of what people think of such things that affect us most (the subtitle), living here in the US of A. Free of the of millenial inflations JP describes the nature of the very cause-machines of our reality or nightmare (US) in eloquent and heartfelt words and not without humor. Take away here is: treading forward through the minefield that the world is turning into, it would indeed be a good idea to be at least adequetly informed about such matters.This book should be useful for journalists and college courses. http://coolgrove.com/book_module/don_module.html
JP also wrote Double Helix Hubris: against designer genes (coolgrove) and one that is still valid and informative after a decade.http://coolgrove.com/book_module/helix_module.html
