Heartfelt, whimsical, tough writings framed in a personal
journal, Labor Day, 2004 through Easter, 2005
by Glenn Hopkins
Philadelphia, PA – Xlibris in cooperation with Donatello Press is
pleased to announce the publication of Slim Volume, Trade
Paperback; 219 pages; 978-1-4363-4870-6
Cloth Hardback; 217 pages; 978-1-4363-4871-3
Bisexual Los Angeles playwright, Green Party activist, muck-raker,
educator, Methodist and “Radical Faerie” Glenn Hopkins struts his
stuff in a memoir first started in Austin, Texas forty years ago.
Explosively controversial research on the deliberate origin of AIDS,
loving tributes to his father and mentors Ernst Bulova, Ray Bradbury,
and Mort Sahl, songs, poems, play excerpts, lovingly 'outing' a U.S.
First Lady Mrs. Roosevelt (a one-woman 30
minute play now also available in French, Spanish, Farsi, Japanese,
Korean, and Czech and the basis of a new feature film, the first to be
made from Hopkins two dozen plays, Mrs. Roosevelt ) ...all
this comes to the reader along with politics and fervent prayer within
the framework of a real-time journal kept from Labor Day, 2004 to
Easter Sunday, 2005.
The quick-witted, but sentimental avante-guarde memoir features
several alternative beginnings, yet gets its work done in 219 pages.
You'll probably feel like Gerry Gardner of radio KCME, who said in
her broadcast review of Hopkins' internationalist play ...all
in the same boat in 1989:
"...moments of genius...I can't
stop thinking about it!"
