[The word “prolific” was invented to describe Silverback Jim. He’s a guy who marches to his own beat and writes a lot of stuff down. Interesting stuff. Others write about Ernest Hemingway, Jim wirtes about Martha Gellhorn, his wife, and probably the better writer. There’s a lot of neo-Noir titles, such as his most recent, The Cart Savior. You’ll also find memoirs, and even a “The Stupid People’s History of America.” Check out some of the media quotes about Jim’s work. SB SM]
