They were among the very first to recognize and articulate the threat of fascism that were sweeping through europe in the 1930s, while most of their colleagues, male or female, refused to acknowledge the blatant signs of nazi imperialism. West and thompson fought the only way they could, not on the military battlefield, but in the arena of ideas. Willing to risk everything and smashing literary and social icons in their wake, rebecca west made sicily was nothing if not icon. Sicily, the youngest of three daughters was born in 1892, in the outskirts of london. Her father, a gifted cartoonist and journalist, soon revealed to be a notorious gambler, thief and womanizer, abandoned their families when sicily was only 8 years old. Devastated, she was unable to recognize to reconcile, his apparent adoration with the pennery and shame into which his leaving had cast them. This, i believe, was the defining moment of her life. Her fathers betrayal forever destroyed her faith in people and in god ....

A private individual rather than a public figure. Its about an hour. Nixon had written a very scathing memorandum criticizing the administrations handling of that transition, and he criticized it as pathetically inadequate; that he thought the administration was not supporting Boris Yeltsin enough financially.

CSPAN2 Book TV November 24, 2012

I am wondering myself what we do as writers to meet that. That is another challenge. [laughter] one, i think you are right and i think the question had a lot of information in it. We have all become writers and we have been pushed into it by communication and we are all publishers to a large degree and to mitigate largely through text and increasingly through video and instagram but still videos.
