Synopsis

Something I Said largely goes against the politically correct grain. Because the p.c. grain largely needs going against. As in calling the lazy homeless to account. Debunking the stereotype that all conservative blacks are sell-outs. And more. Something I Said also comments on domestic abuse and rape. Which only an idiot ignores. Or someone whose mother wasn't a woman.

And there s a light side. Advice on romance. From, of all things, a man.

You will, take it to the bank, not be bored by Something I Said.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dwight Hobbes, a veteran writer takes pride in being a self-described warhorse. Been at this a long time. Starting in 1992 with a penchant for flying in the face of politically correctness. Hobbes essay If You Won t Help Yourself..., an unsympathetic take on homelessness, was reprinted from COLORS Magazine in Reader s Digest and The Washington Post. It jump-started a career that previously consisted of the short story One Going, One Staying in ESSENCE and a couple plays produced in college. At Long Island University, Hobbes saw Pain in the Midst and You Can t Always Sometimes Never Tell produced with Broadway-television actor starring in Pain in the Midst. If You Won t Help Yourself... was the basis for Hobbes drama, Shelter, which swept Twin Cities critics at Minneapolis Star Tribune, St. Paul Pioneer Press and City Pages.

Something I Said is not going to please everybody. It is, nonetheless, a page-turner that sets tongues to wagging.
