McBrearty.

The Western Lonesome Society has been described as a surreal western. Some of it feels distinctly historical, while other parts of the story have a dream-like quality. What inspired you to create multiple narratives in one story?  I love that question.  To explain it, I really have to go back in time a bit, fifteen […]

Can Justice and Commercialization Work Together?

I’ve received a tremendous positive response to the ‪Anti-Columbus Day‬ sale-thank you for that! I was surprised, then shocked and a little dismayed, that some people, even a few I deeply respect, disapproved. They unsubscribed from my email newsletter, saying that it used “violent” language and was merely an unwise “marketing grenade” that didn’t take the problem seriously. […]

‘Don’t Wait Too Long’: McBrearty on Writing

  Late Night Thoughts from Robert Garner McBrearty  I woke up last night, was lying there, little to do, you know, listening to my wife breathe, the wind outside, and I was mulling over my life a bit, the pros and cons, and one thought that came, more or less, was: well, I wrote.  Maybe […]
