American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time)

Part five of my review of "The Man in the High Castle".

Oh..the feels. Time to say goodbye to W. E. B. Du Bois. Maybe we will meet again if The Library of America publishes another volume of your works. Articles from the "Crisis"--lots of them.

Part four of my comments and review of Philip K. Dick's Hugo Award-winning novel "The Man in the High Castle".  

The essays I look at in this episode are from the end of Du Bois' career, including a chapter from his masterpiece "Black Reconstruction in America."

More of "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick.

Part 2 of my comments on Philip K. Dick's "The Man in the Hight Castle".

Season 2 of the Philip K. Dick Book Club kicks off with part 1 of my comments on Dick's Hugo Award winning "The Man in the High Castle".

In this episode, I take a look at Du Bois' essays from the post World War I period to the 1920s. Topics include the betrayed promise of natonal self-determination after the war and the Marcus Garvey movement.

My final episode on "Vulcan's Hammer" by Philip K. Dick. This also brings to an end "Season 1" of this series on Dick's works, covering the stories and novels of the 1950s. (Vulcan's Hammer and Dr. Futurity, published in 1960, were written much earlier). I will be back soon with the novels and stories of the 1960s, beginning with "The Man in the High Castle".

Part two of my comments on Dick's 1960 novel "Vulcan's Hammer." A little murder mystery (murder of a computer anyway) thickens the plot.
