    Mr. Spinrad,

    I've been a huge fan for a while. Don't know if you recall, but ten years or so ago, you were looking for a new apt in Paris and I sent you the info of someone (a woman named Portia) who worked for the French govt to see if they could help.

    In any regard, I'm trying to contact you for the purpose of doing an interview over the internet, via Vokle. It's a video format similar to your video blogs.

    You can contact me at tom@thetomgulleyshow.com. I'll be happy to speak with you. Unless I'm done in by a Giant Flying Vampire Toad.

    Tom G.

THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN

        THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN                          Alternate Medicines and the Scientific Method                     by  Norman Spinrad           Written   over a decade ago as a proposal for a book that never got written  but all too pertinent  to the era of the coronavirus                     There are many medical systems on this planet, some of them ancient, some of them new, more of them that not based on metaphorical systems. Only “Western” or “alliopathic” medicine is based on rigorous science.  But many of the traditional non-western systems cure some conditions cure some conditions but not others. Many of these cures work in practice, but not in theory. That is they do work, but not for the reasons the theory behind them conte...

WHAT DOESN'T KILL LOVE MAKES IT STRONGER

                                    WHAT DOESN'T KILL LOVE MAKES IT STRONGER Dona Sadock and I have lived a half century long love affair and counting, and not a simple or conventional one.  We met at a literary conference in Milford Pennsylvania in 1965.  I had just published my first novel and was on my way from New York to California on a great road adventure, she was going to go to Europe. It was not love at first sight for me, it was love at first conversation. When the conference was over, I told her to get in the car with me, not really believing she would, and she didn't. I ended up chasing her back and forth between California and New York, never exactly catching her, but our destiny together had begun. As lifelong best friends, even while married to other people, as sometimes lovers living together, bouncing back and forth between New York and Los Angeles for both of us...

           ELECT YOUR PEOPLE'S POLICE                            by Norman Spinrad If something isn't done, and done fast, a civil war in the United States is just a shot or a Molotov Cocktail away. But how and by who?   If there is one American who could stand up before the protesters and be listened to it is surely the one and only former President of the United States, Barack Obama. Live before the largest crowd possible and of course well televised.  What should he say? He should speak the hard truth to the leaderless protesters that what they are doing is counterproductive to their own confusion of diverse and general causes which if even possible would take decades of legislation to accomplish. What is needed  immediately is a strong significant and reachable demand. Demand that the head of all police departments in the United States--cities, towns, st...

THE POWER OF DIRTY WORDS

As we all know, fuck, shit, piss, and cunt are the rock bottom basic “dirty words.” Neither the New York Times nor any other establishment publication will print them.  They may not be uttered on broadcast television...

                                   QUARANTINE                               by Norman Spinrad  If it wasn’t the best of times, at least it wasn’t the worst of times, or something like that, which is the opening line of a novel called A TALE OF TWO CITIES, and it seemed like this would be only a tale of one. Back in the day before the Quarantine, Manhattan island was the heart and soul and pocketbook of New York City, to the extent that New York could have been said to have all three, Wall Street, Greenwich Village, Broadway and 42nd Street, and all that jazz. When you saw a movie or a TV show or an ad featuring New York, the Big Apple was Manhattan, not anything in what some visiting Californian must have dubbed the “Outer Boroughs,” the moral equivalent of Anaheim or Eagle Rock as far as a Hollywood wise guy was ...

VITAMIN C VERSES CORONAVIRUS Why I've not yet read this anywhere I don't know but that is why I'm duty-bound to do it myself: Vitamin C will be effective against the Coronavirus, personally, and collectively. Vitamin C promotes the body's creation of Interferon which is key to the strength of the immune system. Everyone should take at least 2000mg of Vitamin C, 1000 in the morning, 1000 in the evening, some say another 1000 mid-day. This is not curative, this is cautionary, keeping your immune system running at maximum. If you start to suspect that you may be feeling early symptoms take 1000 mg of Vitamin C an hour until your urine turns bright yellow, which means that your Vitamin C is at maximum and you are pissing away the rest. This will not always stop the infection but it frequently will. I am not making this up, it was discovered and elucidated by Linus Pauling, a Nobel class biochemist. Decades ago, I suffered chronic urinary infection like many men. When I ...

VOTED FOR ME OR I'L KILL YOU

VOTE FOR ME OR I'LL KILL YOU VIDEO Thank you Alan Dershowitz “What a load of nonsense,” Schumer said as he addressed reporters. “By Dershowitz’s logic, President Nixon did nothing wrong in Watergate. He was just breaking into the [Democratic National Committee] to help his reelection, which of course in the public interest, according to Dershowitzian logic.” “The Dershowitz argument frankly would unleash a monster, more aptly it would unleash a monarch,” Schumer added. Video and music by Jerome and Denis Lefdup, lyrics and performance by Norman Spinrad Originally part of HOME ON THE PAGE, video and live stage show, and a DVD back in the day. A little dated maybe, but Jerome has done a fabulous 3D remake and politics being how they have become right now, I just couldn't resist

I've reduced the prices for THE PEOPLE'S POLICE as low as Amazon allows--$6.80 for the paperback, $2.99 for the ebook . I'm doing this because I believe that it's important that this novel be read as widely as possible right now even though I'll be losing money doing this. Because the title is not ironic. Because this novel bridges gaps--between cops and people of color, between Dixie and Yankeeland, between Christianity and Voodoo.

                                   Reviews of THE PEOPLE'S POLICE Tom Shippey on the Best New Science Fiction THE PEOPLE'S POLICE in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Norman Spinrad's novel imagines much wilder Mardi Gras and with it the idea of the "People's Police of New Orleans": cops looking the other way on minor crime, especially vice.                                By TOM SHIPPEY The big event in our near future, warns Norman Spinrad in "The People's Police", will be the Great Deflation. The dollar will surge, prices and wages will fall. Who suffers in that scenario? Everyone with a mortgage. Americans end up like Icelanders not so long ago, saddled with debts they can't pay with now-deflated incomes. The next stage is foreclosures and evictions. In sadly shrunken New Orleans, Officer Martin Luther Martin ...

       NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE --QUICK MANUAL             note: you can call up this manual any   time via "Search" or Archive."  What is NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE and how does it work? Call it a "blog," call it a "website," call it a combination of that and my Facebook News and Timeline, I'm  creating it all by myself, and still learning as I do. My Facebook News and Timeline is what it has always been. One posts on "News," it sits there on top for a bit, then sinks down into oblivion while appearing as the latest post on "Timeline" and starts likewise falling down the Timeline to nowwhere.  You can't put it back on top, it's timelined. On NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE, however, I can change the featured opening page to anything on the website whenever I want to and everything I've ever posted is always there and can be moved up to featured opening page up and down however relevant for as long as I want it t...
