Sue Clancy: I am entirely with you on literature in forming one's own person and values. You show depth of being and thought and humane core values. You are one of the persons who inspires me.
Thank you again for your kindness!! My adopted Dad taught me to read like this. For more than 30 years, up until just before he passed away a few years ago, we were sharing books and writing to each other about them. We did that together for so many years that I simply can't imagine reading without a pen and notebook nearby and I've got a very good imagination 🤣🤣💚💚💚💚 Thank you again!!!
IMHO, Billy Pilgrim scored when he met Montana Wildhack! (Siri is not well read I’m finding. She has no recognition of Montana’s name🤷🏽) I, too, have found being naked around others is a form of examining our social inhibitions. A group of friends and I used to do so in a verdant natural pond. As far as ogling, we were really more interested in keeping an eye out for the alligators in this pond. I’m 75 if you haven’t guessed.
I hear that!!! I'm quite fond of flagrantly exposing my mind to the stuff of life. Getting goid airflow around the thinky-believey places is essential. I'm 56 if you haven't guessed 😁 And Thank you for your wonderful comment!!!
I now think of the banned books lists as a neon sign pointing to where the really good books are. I rush out to buy them! I'm currently reading The Great Gatsby... also banned most recently in Florida, South Carolina and Idaho
Also a search online will give more articles and more details about Vonnegut and the banning of Slaughterhouse Five. About book bans in general see EveryLibrary.org and PEN America, or the American Library Association websites. Hope that answers your question.
The Soup and Bread cookbook I mentioned in my sources is one of my go-to books for easy to make comforting soups. And thank you so much for your comment!!! 💚💚💚💚💚
Oh Sue, this is one of the most beautiful, innovative and creative pieces of art I have ever seen. Extraordinary and surprising - but NOT, at the same time, for the sole reason that it is an original Clancy, and Clancy ALWAYS delivers extraordinary and surprising. Also - in HUGE doses - soothing, thought-provoking, instructive, creative, wonderful.
A beautiful booklet. I love the heaviness of the paper and the sense of the paint and ink within it. ‘Raw art’ Is so special. I’d imagined from your description in the Comments last time that it was a linear representation but no, non-linear, and just as effective with the writers and soups interwoven over time. That’s so lovely! Thank you so much for sharing. 🤗🤗❤️💕
Sue Clancy: What a beautiful way to imprint the literary canon and the deep, transcendental values we live in the literary heritage.
You are a very special, spiritual (in the European sense) person, and I am so grateful to follow your work.
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement!! I appreciate it more than I can say 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

You had me at “handmade paper”! I did not know this was a thing! From concept to completion, it is a work of art. 💖
Your comment made me smile!!! And I wholeheartedly thank you!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

How did I miss that Slaughterhouse Five was on a banned book list? No fucking words for that.
Exactly!!! No fucking words!!! Slaughterhouse Five has all too regularly been on the banned-books lists. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/08/the-neverending-campaign-to-ban-slaughterhouse-five/243525/

Banned in schools or libraries or book stores or where? And why?
There's a long history of Slaughterhouse Five being banned or attempted to be banned - in schools most often and in many states like Ohio, Florida and Missouri to name a few. Sometimes the reason given is language, sometimes the censors dislike the books critique of religion. Here's an article with an overview of the history of bans and Vonnegut. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/08/the-neverending-campaign-to-ban-slaughterhouse-five/243525/

That's it. I'm out of adjectives. Just wow.
PS Okay, one more: AWESOME.
A wonderful insight to create a unique artwork.
Great artwork! What an amazing book that is. I read it earlier this year.
