They create characters who become your friends, nourishing you the rest of your life—characters like Doc Ricketts in John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row or anyone in a Tom Waits’ song. “The stories I love, the songs that resonate with me create an intoxicating place, a mental oasis that quenches a thirst for intimacy.“ As I write The Making of American Aura, I’m meeting characters, both real and imagined, who stay with me. Some are becoming close friends—counselors and muses who confront me with brutal honesty. Others are dangerous—sometimes seductively so. But, collectively, they’re attempting to tell me the truth.” Clark is currently writing The Making of American Aura and envisions it as trilogy spanning a period from antebellum America to the early 1950’s. Clark’s first novel, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues, is about an ancient bluesman who teaches the blues—the real blues—where there’s a hint of hope in every cry of desperation. https://www.davidmutticlark.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-04-20 https://www.davidmutticlark.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2020-04-23 https://www.davidmutticlark.com/amendamerica daily 0.75 2022-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9e0e335d1ad56ff3fc807c/55e31867-58b4-44d3-8004-f42547f0d72b/dreamstime_xxl_55412394.jpg Reclaiming Our American Mojo.
