Part philosophical and politcal satire, and part gut wrenching horror, The Anarchist, proving once again that C.SeanMcGee is to be found neither on the left nor the right of traditional and scholared ideology, points an ironic, poignant and articuate finger at idealism and its literal implications
Genre: FICTION / Humorous / Black Humor“Your beliefs do not define you” she said. “They direct you. But without action, they ironize you. You are not what you believe, you are what you do. Your beliefs are the thoughts that are buried so far in your subconscious that you have no idea what they are and how they got there. If believe that you can change the world. I believe that we all can. But first, we must change the way we have been raised. And it is too late for us. What we can do though is to teach our children to see a dimension to us that is fallible and invisible. When our children are on the floor, we must be with them and guide them through their curiosity to find what is right and what is true and to not define themselves and their happiness and joy and sense of identity, by what is wrong and forbidden. We must teach them that sitting quiet and sill in the center of the room is not kind and mannerly, it is not the fit for acclaim and it is not a state of which they should aspire, fearful to run into any of their doubts or fears or the dangers and wrongs that their mothers and fathers gritted and screamed into their ears and lashed upon their red and sore buttocks. The new world will not come from violence or fear. It will not be built upon the remains of smoldering rubble. It will not come from vicious and rebelling hands. It will come from a new seed as new things are born. When our children can see what they love and carry that with them; when what they hate or despise is much like something of which they bore and care not for, something they cannot name and of which plays not at the strings of their passion and reason, that they are only defined by what is good and what is right."

Author review: Alessandra was great to work with. She was professional, prompt, and by all accounts she did a damn good version. I look forward to working with her on future projects in, or more likely outside of, this platform. I highly recommend her work. |
