The World of Good

About the Book

The romance between the hippie chick and the older scientist we met in Good Medicine skates out on thin ice for good and ill during that brief dream of faith which began as Richard Nixon left the White House by the fire escape and ended with John Lennon’s murder. We awake from this dream to the dark morning of our time. The present volume, the third volet of this triptych, concludes The Kind of Life that Was Being Lived.

About the Author

Arnold Wohl has held many of the typical no-account jobs forced by the United States of Amnesia on its writers. In trying to follow his calling, he has done stints as a carpenter’s assistant, a short-order cook, a carnival roustabout, a French chef (in France), a medical research scientist, a demolition worker, a telemarketer, a stevedore, a street guitarist, a software engineer, and an adjunct professor of English. He is a practicing astrologer, and a father of three. His short story Manicheans is on-line in Crania, #6. Others of his works are in print (Rattapallax, Number One; And Then, Volume 9). An earlier novel, Compromises (1977), dealt in part with what is now called Mad Cow Disease. Good Training Part 1 and Good Training Part 2 (coming soon) comprise Panel One in the triptych, The Kind of Life That Was Being Lived.
