The Day “Death in Venice” was Conceived
Tadzio Glimpsed on the Venice Beach (May 26, 1911) I could have entitled this: “A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Mann” but that would have been too clever by half. Since I’ve written about Wladyslaw Moes, already, I … Continue reading

A Pawn Piece (1978 play): Insights
Playing the Games of Life on a Chessboard Originally written as a poem (“Upon Peace”) in 1965, as a protest about the ways of the world, I adapted it into a play in 1978, using my son (Derek) as the … Continue reading

Coral Polge: Aspects of Character
Personality of Past Lives or Astrological Aspects? Coral Polge was famous in the U.K. for her psychic portraits. By the time she died in 2001, she must have done tens of thousands of them. I got to sit in front … Continue reading
HTTYD: The Hidden World’s Villain
Grimmell Animators have a lot of leeway when it comes to creating their characters. Take Grimmell, for instance, in the latest How To Train Your Dragon instalment. He spoke in a somewhat foreign accent, like Spanish (I thought). His character … Continue reading
MSS Back Story: Linda Langford
Linda is a young ingenue. She’s not a fully-fledged ‘terrorist’ like Judith, her best friend. She’s just along for the ride, and her association bring her in contact with the rest of ITS CLAWS. Linda is also a sweetheart. She … Continue reading
MSS Back Story: Judith Jackman
To say that Judith is a man-hater would be an understatement. The impression she gives is that somewhere along the way, a man has taken advantage of her, sexually, socially or emotionally, and she’s duty bound to punish the rest … Continue reading
MSS Back Story: Susan Franklin
Susan is King’s second in command of ITS CLAWS. Her house is their base of operations in Vancouver. It’s not a great place to live, but it keeps them under the radar, or at least that’s what they thought. Susan … Continue reading
MSS Back Story: Christine King
Christine is an undercover operative. She is also the leader of a group of feminists called ITS CLAWS. These are not ordinary ‘terrorists’. They could be more closely identified with the Suffragette movement from the early 20th century: they’re authority … Continue reading
