  • JACK AND NORMAN; the story of an author & his apprentice - BGE presents
    Now, Jerome is tackling a new story titled, Jack and Norman: a State Raised Convict and the Legacy of Norman Mailerâ??s â??The Executionerâ??s Songâ??. So far it has received extensive praise in the book trade, along with glowing coverage in Vanity Fair, New Republic, Huffington Post, the Daily Beast and other media outlets. JACK AND NORMAN provides a look into one of the most interesting moments in New York Intelligentsia history. Through Lovingâ??s guidance, readers explore the tale surrounding two of the most infamous books of the past fifty years; a story which has gone untold until now. The biographical work centers on Norman Mailerâ??s correspondence with Jack Henry Abbott, Federal Prisoner 87098-132. It was at this time that Mailer was writing The Executionerâ??s Song about the condemned killer Gary Gilmore. After some time writing each other, Abbott was able to convince Mailer of his ability as a writer, and that he deserved another shot at freedom. After letters of support from Mailer and other literary elites, Abbott was released on parole in 1981. Abbott soon became the center of the New York literary community, as he worked on his own book titled: In the Belly of the Beast. This freedom however, was short lived. A day before the New York Times released a rave review of his book, Abbott murdered a New York City waiter and fled to Mexico. Abbott killed within six weeks of his release from prison, much like that of Gary Gilmore in Mailerâ??s novel. It is a fascinating story, and a tragedy that calls into question the romantic theory of the artist whose rare talent renders the writer beyond the reach of convention. About the Author JEROME LOVING, Distinguished Professor of English at Texas A&M, is the author of a number of biographies and critical studies in American literature, including "Walt Whitman: The Song of Himself" (1999), "The Last Titan: A Life of Theodore Dreiser" (2005), and "Mark Twain: The Adventures of Samuel L.

He has been a Fulbright scholar in the former Soviet Union and in France, where he also taught as a visiting professor at the Sorbonne. His fellowships include a Guggenheim and a â??We the Peopleâ?? grant from the Nation.

  • Dan Kovalik- BGE presents
    Weâ??ve heard a lot lately about the Russian hackâ?¦ But is Russia really out to get the United States? Is that the correct narrative? Weâ??re putting out a new book that claims it isnâ??t. The book is THE PLOT TO SCAPEGOAT RUSSIA: How the CIA and the Deep State Have Conspired to Vilify Russia; its author is Dan Kovalik, a labor and human rights lawyer. The Plot to Scapegoat Russia examines the recent proliferation of stories, usually sourced from American state actors, when theyâ??re sourced at all, blaming and manipulating the threat of Russia. This book shows readers two key things: the ways in which the United States has needlessly provoked Russia, especially after the collapse of the USSR, thereby squandering hopes for peace and cooperation; and how Americans have lost out from this missed opportunity and from decades of conflicts based on false premises. These revelations, among others, make The Plot to Scapegoat Russia one of the timeliest reads of 2017.
