Book Description
Smart and accomplished, it is customary for psychoanalyst, Dr Faye Monroe, to control the dialogue, ask the questions, tease answers. When she encounters a new client, the erudite Oliver Blake, the nature of engagement tilts, and with it the axis of Faye's constructed world. A cerebral dance commences. Choreographed with hints of a 'danse macabre', it evolves to fencing, bouts of cognitive and psychological combat. What does he actually want? Who is his wife? And where is she? Against a classical score, we roam and ricochet philosophy, art, Schopenhauer and the childless choice, Greek myths, scatology and sarcophagi, and in India, the delicate and rich art of passementerie, its elaborate braids, embellishments and stitching... As well as the more mundane - college friends, old flames, excruciating family - the contrast of life's messy minutiae. In its Arabic origins, the word of the pigeon whisperer is deemed untrustworthy, dismissed as hearsay from court, tainted and taboo. As our perspectives shift and swivel, fault lines are traced, addictions viscerally fed, and as cracks and flaws are revealed, we ask, whose whispers, whose words, do we believe?

Book Description
The Golden Warrior and the bravest man I ever knew. When Dave and I fought together, no matter how severe the action, he would put his hand on my shoulder, and it gave me a calming effect. He was as fi erce in battle as he was gentle in friendship. Charles E. Eckman, 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles Holtwood, Pennsylvania I remember David as a kind, soft-spoken man and was intrigued that he was also Colonel Michaelis radio operator. All of these men were larger than life! Little is known about Michealis because he was in command of the 502nd for such a short, yet important, time. Peter J. K. Hendrikx, author of Orange is the Color of the Day Pictorial history of the 101st Airborne Liberation of Holland www.heroesatmargraten.com Madame Rolle, owner of Chateau Rollea castle located in Champs outside of Bastogne, Belgium, and was designated as the headquarter command post for the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment when she was a young girlremembered our father operating his radio in her foyer, and said, He was a nice young fellow who kept talking to someone named Roger. Madame Rolle This collection of letters, written by a young 101st Airborne paratrooper soldier to his sweetheart from 1943-1945, is so personal and matter-offact that I almost forgot that David Clinton Tharp was only one of millions of heroes made by World War II. David Tharp certainly deserves a book like this in his honor, and it deserves to be read and praised. It is a mustread for every American, and especially for veterans of war. Palmetto Review
