Bøger af Merle McClung

Although carried to extremes in the 1980's, "Three Farces" pokes fun at topics Americans continue to obsess over: sex, money, power and Jesus. Being an unholy blend of all four, the "Tim & Fanny Show" leads the way. "White Collar Time" is mostly about greed and dollars, but with sex and power as subplots. "Doctor Sperm" is focused on sex and man's inability to control his second brain, but also features dollar and power subplots. Merle McClung has created a website/blog to help counter such dysfunction, since the excess of the 1980's repeats itself today. He invites all "Goodheads" (those who seek the common good) to join the discussion at MakeOurDemocracyWork.com.

Merle McClung compiled "A Muse of Fire" from the works of Shakespeare in 1965 as a Rhodes Scholar at Trinity College, Oxford. The play gathered dust on Mr. McClung's library shelves until 2014 when failing health convinced him to publish it before it ended up in a landfill. Reading some of Shakespeare's most beloved poetry in a different context has obvious drawbacks, but also enables Shakespeare lovers to appreciate him in a new light. Prince Hal, Falstaff, Hotspur, Hamlet, and other luminaries come together in surprising symmetry as the play transitions from comic fantasy to the historic tragedy of war. The "Use Muse" section suggests challenging tests and stimulating games for literary-inclined adults to identify the source of selections from "A Muse of Fire."
