It happens before you know anything.
Like a perfect eye removed by a deranged surgeon as delighted in finding it as damaged as he is himself,
for the deed, as for having then handed you the bill,
that which you need the most is wrenched from you.
In time, you “grow” into accepting the theft as a thing never to be mentioned.
It becomes ...unutterable.
All you can do to keep what remains of your sanity is to join in the madness.
One having been kept for two hundred years,
the other since the dawn of civilization,
The Forbidden Histories of Frankenstein expose two explosive secrets.
In revealing these, their explorations into bad parenting, bad politics and bad faith
help undo the damage caused by the Unutterable Theft.
Using only history and literature
but like you’ve never known those before
they empower readers, each one, to reclaim
The Deed to One’s Own Soul.
EXCERPTS:
"Often, things lost are not just lost but are buried, by others, deep and in the land of the taboo.
It just so happens that Frankenstein’s celebrity—its clout—makes here an outstanding pickaxe.
Centered, as the novel authentically is, on the saga of the common individual,
it generates in the Forbidden Histories a virtual eruption of facts and conclusions
as yet undiscovered, unacknowledged, and often fiercely resisted.
Together, these speak of and to those who see in oneself a thing re-engineered,
at and from birth, to suit the taste of carnivorous Government and cannibalistic Society."
"Except that the science involved is a metaphor for POLITICAL science, Frankenstein
turns out to have about as much to do with mad scientists as a Coke has to do with its can.
The difference between and on the one hand, all this misunderstanding and misrepresentation,
and the lie it effects on the other, can be summed up in one word:
consciousness."
“The Forbidden Histories are written for those who have lost something and, despite knowing
that what they are looking for is unidentifiable, still sense that they will know when they have found it.
Following in the footsteps of Aeschylus, Mary Shelley, Golding, and Salinger, the series takes
the next step in the Reformation of Human Social Consciousness.”
“We say we love our kids.
They say that’s not the question.
In an endless row over what love is and how it differs from control,
over who is the subject and who the true object of that love,
they want to know what we love them for!”
_________
So. You say you want to know what Frankenstein is REALLY about?
Can you face it, when the whole truth of the novel is much worse than the fiction?
Welcome—to the war between the generations.
