Remigration

Another topic I have “touched upon” is “remigration.” This word is a neologism, which means coming back to where you have been driven out.I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes.

Remarkable People

On the road I have traveled, I have met many remarkable people. First I name my friend and mentor the late Emile Capouya. “Mike” encouraged me over the years and published two of my books in New York.

grew up in the United States, associating with the New York City jazz and coffee scene in the 1950s. ". . .I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes". As a subtitle I’ve chosen “Stepping out of line,” which is a movement my feet can’t seem to avoid making.

Vienna Today

Returning to my birthplace has given me a unique opportunity of writing on Third Reich Revisionism. This topic interlinks with Violence under the Guise of Art like pieces of a puzzle to reveal how the past manifests itself in the present.

Shenanigans and Success

She’s young and beautiful, and made every effort to garner a past as quickly as possible. After college, there was a short stint as a secretary, which she broke off to become a stripper. And stripping today means more than removing your clothes and underclothes one by one. The stereotypical climax of an act is bringing yourself to a climax.

She’s got a gaudy tattoo on her arm and her nipples are pierced. Well, that’s the fashion these days, like it or not! It signifies being frivolous and carefree.

She knows what it’s about, and she knows how to relate it. She wrote her memoirs as a sex performer, and they hit the bestseller list. Who isn’t interested in the ins and outs of a stripper? And after that, she wrote the script for a top Hollywood film. Not only did the film receive awards, but her script is also award-winning. And there are writing offers galore.

Her past is not a problem; it’s an asset. And you can’t really call it the past, since she’d like to go back and relive it.

Now you’re no longer an outcast if you engage in any kind of shenanigans. Shenanigans are a key to the inner sanctum - as well as wealth. As far as the motion picture business is concerned, the game has changed since the Stone Age of the Hays Code.

But one thing’s for sure, the lady has talent. She can write. No question about it. And she caught on. Her life has not been a life of struggle and it never will be. She’s got it made.
