The Eye of God
Here is the story of the beginning of creation as we know it and the birth of mankind. Okay, so this isn’t the whole story, it’s the incredibly short version with no weekly schedule and not a sign of any begetting. But then again, that would be enough to fill a few large-sized libraries. Hopefully this is enough to give you the general idea, in roughly the same way that religion can be loosely described as a bunch of people believing in something greater than themselves.
It’s a weird, hilarious fantasy about the saving of heaven, hell and mankind from destruction because of belief in technology and lack of faith.
East End Journeys
"To honest men politics is a corrupter - To crooked men it is an opportunity."
Human nature is predictable and reliable. The East Enders I know were all in agreement that violence and muggings, robberies and unemployment could be placed at the door of the ethnic minorities. This simplistic viewpoint brought a wry smile to my lips, but this was their biography.
I hope this tale will have the heart beat of a novel, with love and loss, friendships and memories, humour and pathos, good and not-so-good times, death and survival. Yet there is no fiction. Just the history of a small group of people and their experiences, some of which are etched in my mind with unusual clarity even thought they are events that occurred a lifetime ago. Some are as vivid today as if they were yesterday’s events.
Everyone I met came from an area that was the habitat of the under-privileged, where there was no work, and opportunities were limited. For the vast majority of East Enders of sixty years ago the daily diet consisted of bread and soup, sometimes fish and, once a week, a small helping of meat. Many children were under-nourished, pale and hollow-cheeked. This created a bond of togetherness and the dreams that some were lucky enough to achieve.
So come with me on a journey from the old East End to the new, from Canning Town to Basildon and back to the East End, via war-blasted London and post-war Berlin. Come with me through landscapes of memory and be prepared for the shock of the unimaginable of Auschwitz. Expect the re-drawing of boundaries.
