Private Occurrences

No subject since the Cultural Revolution has grabbed me as has the Romani people. Maybe the Tall Man. The Romani will tide me over until the next 50 biographies come out next week. I'd like to read more accounts of Chase and the pumpkins. There is just not that much on the Romani to grab. The CR literature is voluminous, the Civil War literature endless; by contrast, "there's more published information available on the Martians than on the Gypsies." (Voice Literary Review) It began a couple of Friday nights ago, maybe 15 minutes of one of Carmen's TV shows on Gypsies in Kentucky, USA.
