Stories about white people.

It would never fly today.

he would write something very different today if he were starting out. All of his books are very much creations of their times, and are meant to be so.

We would read the daily newspaper eps aloud in the break room at UC Med Center in San Francisco. Characters that were homosexual published in a City paper. I knew I was home and accepted back then. Love AM. A true renaissance man.

[R7], humour? Are you mad? Humour? It was removed at birth.
