Just because some people are dead, doesn't mean you can't interview them.
The story so far...
Renowned International Journalist Gerald Greene is about to retire - when he is persuaded to do One Last Thing - travel back in time to interview the greatest writers and fighters:
- Bruce Lee talks about his nunchaku obsession with Carl Jung
- Alan Watts lectures The Priests from the Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Series
- Rocky talks aggression with Marshal McLuhan
- Lao Tzu discusses productivity and wifi issues in the 5th Century BC
- David Carradine challenges Bruce Lee (on the phone)
- Mas Oyama talks Animal Rights
- Krishnamurti discusses hair with Colt
- Mr Han-Man talks about his concerns with the poster of Enter the Dragon
Things however, don't always go to plan, as transcripts become jumbled, webcam footage is mashed-up and words inevitably find their way into other people mouths.
"Impudent, cheeky, saucy, and beautifully –wonderfully –insanely irreverent! I love this book for all the reasons I love rock-n-roll, American muscle-cars, and 1970's Shaw Brothers martial arts flicks. Reading this book, you'll be stained by its wisdom!Anthony Guilbert, author of 'Notes From The Drift'
NOTE: This is an eBook compilation. You will receive a zipped file that will uncompress when you click it. Inside, it will contain 3 files: An ePub of the book and a PDF version of the book, plus a PDF version of the associated "Images" ebook.
"...Paul Read... has to be the most down-to-earth Tai Chi teacher on the planet. I guess being down to earth is good in Tai Chi, if you want to get the moves in. This offering is full of imagined dialogues with a rather stunning cast of characters. I can imagine it as a radio series on the World Service or Radio 4. If they had their wits about them they would pick it up."Jasonín d'Asturies
