BUS PEOPLE: the novel that never was

 

In freshening up my blog with a new look, I've rediscovered literally thousands of things I posted in the past. Herein are links to ALL TWELVE PARTS of my unpublished novel, Bus People. Once in a while I think about sending it out. . . 


BUS PEOPLE: a novel of the Downtown Eastside


This is a serialized version of my novel Bus People, a story of the people who live on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The main character, Dr. Zoltan Levy, is loosely based on author and lecturer Dr. Gabor Mate. It's a fantasy and not a sociological treatise: meaning, I don’t try to deal with “issues” so much as people who feel like they’ve been swept to the edge of the sidewalk and are socially invisible/terminally powerless. I’m running it in parts, in chronological order so it’s all there, breaking it up with a few pictures because personally, I hate big blocks of text.

PDQ Bach: Report from Hoople!

REPORT FROM HOOPLE!

Apparently, there really is a Hoople. though I doubt if there ever was a PDQ Bach. Click on the pink link and see if it will work for you. There are no guarantees! The web page is simply ancient, as is the recording (late '60s), but it's some of the best satire I've ever encountered. This was and is one of my favorite "classical" recordings.
