On several levels it's not a hopeful story given how tragically it ended, and of course I don't know your loved one's situation. Your call obviously. As an aside, one of his friends mentioned in the blog ("Tiny") is back in prison and I sent him a copy. He tells me it's been circulating there at FCI Gilmer so much that he tells guys they have 7 days to read it because there's always someone else who's "reserved" it. <br /><br />I had one of the performances of the play "Blogging Behind Bars" video recorded and put play online (Vimeo) if you're interested in watching it. Let me know if so; it's password protected and I'll need to give you the PW.<br /><br />Thanks. I could use a hug. <br /><br /> Whit Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249466392869591994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416777881846745345.post-5102507150899419312015-01-01T19:04:53.745-05:002015-01-01T19:04:53.745-05:00I'm in st Louis actually.

I want a copy for myself, I just was certain when I read the first few this story was going to end well. I just want to hug you!

Today, June 30, 2012, I read this post again. And as usual, I'm just bowled over by his writing. I mean, where for example did he come up with "This man can weave a plot like a set of 10,000-thread-count sheets."? How did a 24-year old who had spent most of the previous 6 years of his life in prison even know about threat count of sheets? And his writing is full of this: similes, analogies, references that leave me wishing I had the ability to write a sentence like that. Whit, you were a sensitive, gifted writer, far beyond your <br />age and your formal education. And you were my only son, whom I loved more than life itself.<br /><br />JeffWhit Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249466392869591994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416777881846745345.post-53034583326857836032009-02-09T11:06:00.000-05:002009-02-09T11:06:00.000-05:00I'm really glad you enjoyed this book as much as I...I'm really glad you enjoyed this book as much as I did :) <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately not all his books are that good. I read "The Dwarves of Death" one year after "The House of sleep", and although it's an entertaining book, it didn't fully convince me.<BR/>I started another one ("Winshaw Legacy" I believe) during Summer 2007, which seemed to be really good but I never got to read more than 20 pages or so.<BR/>I read over someone's shoulder in the Subway that Coe wrote a new book recently ("The Rain before it falls").<BR/><BR/>Other than that, thanks for advertising my awesome reading tastes ;)<BR/><BR/>~N~Ninoushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269407779856634753noreply@blogger.com
