“It was a future they couldn’t quite see, where the richness of all they had brought to the great land of promise would one day be zapped into nothing, the glorious tapestry of their history boiled down to a series of ten-second TV commercials, empty holidays, and sports games filled with the patriotic fluff of red, white, and blue, the celebrants cheering the accompanying dazzle without any idea of the horrible struggles and proud pasts of their forebears who had made their lives so easy.”

Hi Friends. I have many copies of my novel, ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL!
If you send me $27 via Venmo (@Michael-Dunn-565) and your mailing address, I will send you a signed copy! (Shipping included)

In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere But Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. Children are dying of hunger. The Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners’ union. And there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home.

Bookcover for Anywhere But Schuylkill showing a Black and white image of breaker boys on a blue background. Includes the following blurb: “The Banshees of Inisherin and 1917 are two of the best historical films I’ve seen in recent years, particularly the cinematography. Yet the visuals Michael Dunn creates in Anywhere But Schuylkill, are richer, more vivid, more imaginative, and more haunting and indelible than what I recall in those brilliant films. It’s like the author transports himself to each scene and brings to life each physical detail, each expression, each emotion, and each word of dialogue with the care of a Renaissance painter.”
—David Aretha, award-winning author of Malala Yousafzai and the Girls of Pakistan and Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1963 March on Washington.

"The idea that there are only two genders is as fictional as a sorting hat."

Best subtle dig I've ever heard.

It comes from the conclusion to Philippa Gregory's latest book, "Normal Women", a historical review of what has been going on with women in England since 1066. Based on records. It's great, highly recommended - and, for those who like audio books, she reads it herself (with quotes etc read by others) and at times expresses her anger audibly. I found this highly cathartic.

I was particularly pleased to hear that she is good on gender and trans issues, with an exploration of how sex, gender and gender roles were perceived in England during each period she discusses (thus the quote above).

Anyway, it's amazing what can be done by a smart person looking at facts and records and again, I recommend the book.

(There are some parts that get a little repetitive because of the way she's structured it, but they are easy to skim/skip/tune out for.)
