| NEW RELEASE |
| |
| In March, INHOUSEPRESS
will release a new novel: ELOHIM Masters and Minions,
by Stan I.S. Law, a sequel to ONE JUST MAN |
| |
|
About the book:
Even as the world takes gigantic steps in
the fields of genetics, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology,
Peter Thornton, the hapless hero of One Just Man, drifts farther
and farther away from mundane reality. Yet, in spite of himself,
he is drawn into the machinations of Solidarity International,
the Sino-Indian Block, and the American Coalition, all competing
for World Domination. In truly Stan Law's style, this book is
both: a bold exploration of human potential, and an international
thriller. As an added bonus, Peter shows us the way to join him
in the realm of man's ultimate destiny.
|
| Action takes place
in Montreal, Washington and the Vatican. The novel is as much
a page-turner as it is a study of Human Potential. |

| A SHORT COMMENTARY BY
STAN LAW |
| |
| It makes you cry... |
| |
| "The most serious
threat to the United States is not someone hiding in a cave in
Pakistan or Afghanistan, but our own fiscal irresponsibility." |
|
David Walker, former Comptroller
General of the United States |

I don't read French anymore. I left the mysteries
of Moliere and Camus in my youth. Having moved to England, then
Canada, I had to opt for a different language. Now, I read and
write in English. Still, I miss the old French.
And now I hear that the most famous French
bookstore in the United States will close its doors, this year,
after 73 years in business. Why? Not because there are no more
customers, no more readers of French literature. They'll close
because of the rampant greed of the Rockefeller Center. It was
not enough for the American greed to create a world financial
crisis. Not enough to destroy countless middleclass people by
indulging their greed through mortgages they couldn't afford.
Not enough to pollute the atmosphere with gas-guzzlers just so
as to line the pockets of the Big Three CEOs and their henchmen.
No. They also had to shut the doors on literature
by raising the rent from $360,000 to $1,000,000 a year. So much
for Fifth Avenue greed. I used to love New York. Really. Now?
Now I think I'll spend my money in Paris.

Recently, Stan I.S.
Law ventured into the realm of poetry, mostly inspired by Bozena
Happach's sculptures.
In today's Newsletter we share with you a poem, inspired by sculpture
in gesso-duro and ice: Arctic Idol |
| |
|
Arctic Idol
My grunts vibrate over the North Pole,
travelling right thro' the growing ozone hole,
then bounce and rise to the silvery moon
So well I can scream and howl, and even croon!
Then I overdo acting, like the misbegotten
hams,
And I roar louder, to drown the deafening drums.
I also throw my weight around, jerk for all I'm worth!
'Cause I'm the First, the Only, Idol of the North!
