The decade was a foreshadowing of our national cataclysm.<br \/>\n    Underlying every social aspect was the nation&#8217;s fatal flaw, slavery, that<br \/>\n    perverted the Constitution on which the Enlightenment ideals of a<br \/>\n    &#8220;United States&#8221; were based. And on every day, similarities to the<br \/>\n    distortions of the present decade are obvious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">I chose a Southern ethos, finding an unexpected woman to suffer and survive<br \/>\n    the decade; and three brothers, each of whom carves a unique path through<br \/>\n    it, one as a fugitive unjustly accused of murder and slave-stealing, one as<br \/>\n    an enigmatic operative across the jagged spectrum of antebellum party<br \/>\n    politics, and the eldest who inherits his family&#8217;s storied tobacco<br \/>\n    plantation as its lands burn out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">The story is told chronologically, the fiction adhering to the history.<br \/>\n    Should a question arise as to which is which, any event of historical<br \/>\n    significance &#8211; no matter how bizarre or implausible &#8212; did indeed<br \/>\n    happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">The novel echoes ethnic truths as they were at the time. I write of<br \/>\n    intimacies as well as horrors found in historical records. Both public and<br \/>\n    private relations were often infused with their own destruction &#8212; as were<br \/>\n    the expanding &#8220;United States&#8221; in that decade, and I fear in this<br \/>\n    one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a 1=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/production-sitebuilder-v1-0-8\/508\/1818508\/hWXN2m4l\/293eccaf2f0045859b6d2902e29d55a2\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/production-sitebuilder-v1-0-8\/508\/1818508\/hWXN2m4l\/293eccaf2f0045859b6d2902e29d55a2\" width=\"521\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: large; line-height: 107%;\"><b>About the Author<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">After a questionable academic career at Stanford (I mean, how practical is<br \/>\n    a double major in Drama and Far Eastern Theology?), Kinsolving fled to the<br \/>\n    Oregon Shakespeare Festival to play Richard II. He then attended The London<br \/>\n    Academy of Music and Dramatic Art for polish. Returning to New York, he<br \/>\n    appeared as an actor under-, off- and on Broadway, as well as a saloon<br \/>\n    singer in foul Greenwich Village nightclubs. For creative diversion during<br \/>\n    these years, he acted and\/or directed back in Oregon, at the Stratford (CT)<br \/>\n    Shakespeare Theater, Harvard, Dartmouth, Caf\u00e9 La Mama, then went out<br \/>\n    and won the Best Actor of the Year award from the San Francisco Chronicle<br \/>\n    for performing at the Berkeley Rep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">Ineluctably transitioning to a second career, Kinsolving wrote a play with<br \/>\n    84 speaking roles, was awarded a Ford Foundation Playwriting Grant, and had<br \/>\n    the play produced by the Stratford Ontario Shakespeare Festival. This led to<br \/>\n    the first of some 54 films on which he worked for every major studio (and<br \/>\n    several distinctly minor ones) in Los Angeles, London and Rome (ask him<br \/>\n    about Zeffirelli sometime) as screenwriter and script doctor. Suspecting<br \/>\n    that such a life was leading to the utter corruption of his soul (not to<br \/>\n    dare mention his body), he retreated to Carmel to write the first of five<br \/>\n    novels (a NY Times best-seller, a couple of Literary Guild Main Selections,<br \/>\n    he adds humbly, but only if asked).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">While serving on the Board of Trustees of the California Institute of the<br \/>\n    Arts, he regressed happily to nightclub and fundraising performances,<br \/>\n    accompanied by the likes of Peter Duchin and Emmanuel Ax, singing at the<br \/>\n    Algonquin Hotel\u2019s late lamented Oak Room and for one of the late<br \/>\n    Brooke Astor\u2019s better birthday parties among many other less<br \/>\n    name-dropping venues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">Last year, he directed a musical for which he wrote the book and lyrics in<br \/>\n    the nave of San Francisco\u2019s Grace Cathedral about Johann Sebastian<br \/>\n    Bach and his family. Bach provided all the music, and proved to be very easy<br \/>\n    to work with. THAT WEEK WITH THE BACHS had the best voices in the Bay Area,<br \/>\n    including the ineffable Frederica von Stade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;\">He began work on the historical novel DANGEROUS TIMES between the<br \/>\n    diversions above. He knew the history, but even so, was startled by how<br \/>\n    constant the similarities are in that destructive time to what\u2019s going<br \/>\n    on in this one.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n  <span style=\"font-family: Garamond, serif;
