Morbus Gallicus
I have altered the description of my memoir, as it more properly reflects both the title and the contents, rather than the 2-dimensional reference to my Catholic/clan background in the earlier version. Here is the new summary:
"A Voluntary Crucifixion traces out the self-inflicted Via Dolorosa of David J. MacKinnon, disciple of Mary Magdalene, Gilles de Rais, Barabas, the low latin poets, ekstasis and the levitating saints. Survivor-in-exile of leftist purges, dictators both tinpot and tyrannical, chronically plagued by Cassandra's curse. Now, via this "pestilent prescription of morbus gallicus", bidding the ancestors to inflict hery, a poxy wind of Old Testament revenge upon the colluders, queen bees and eusocial kowtowers sucking off the teat of the common weal, while squatting in the derelict basement of his imagination."
I doubt very much the men & women whom I target - the hopelessly naive believers, the Buk-lovers, the low latin poets, the drunks and the deplorables - have enough skin to afford my books. Such is the Bezos-sphere. But I persist. This is the better path - clawing and scratching your way across this beautiful mortal coil, pissing on the graves of the hypocrites who would skin their own mothers while promoting cycling paths. Aye, this is a grand and beautiful life, and it is far better here on the cusp, looking in at the madness and knowing there is a better way - incognito, where you can say and do as you please.
