Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil ~ Berendt
That's an semi-oldie but a goodie.
A bunch of f**king bull sh*t about how a person can blow a kid full of 9 bullet holes and be declared not guilty.
just about everyone in this forum fully knows this writer and her works:
If memory serves me correct she may have been a B.C. girl!
P.S. She's still alive at 84!

I especially enjoy the realism in her writings. For example, there was one incident in her story "The Eye" which also happened to me thousands of miles away and in a completely different environment. No wonder why she is so popular.
Hungary, 1956 ~ it almost reads like today's headlines:
* Russians invade Hungary & tells them we must depose your tyrannical leader for your good - just like Bush did to Iraq
* Bombs are dumped everywhere & thousands of civilians are killed - just like Baghdad
* Thousands of dissidents are arrested (including many non-political innocents) & rape tortured in prison (including one particularly cruel female prison guard rapist just like Private England) - exactly like Abu Ghraib
* Thousands of refugees flee, many killed along the way - just like today
Sixty years have gone by but the headlines and news reports are precisely the same.
