Anders Flagstad's new novel Thad Says Parts Is Parts (And Thad Is Right) is a screwball comedy of errors straight from the vaults. Literally. It's an adaptation of the Roman playwright Plautus's comedy Epidicus, but set in 21st century LGBT San Francisco, and asking the often agonizing and perplexing question "Is it possible to be rich, gay, San Franciscan and happy, all at the same time?"Many are those who ask. Few are answered. Even fewer remember what the question was when the answer hits them squarely between the eyes with all the subtlety of a rapidly swung two-by-four. Eddie Stone - the hero of this and his own story - he happens to be one of those few people. Eddie ends up, as you can imagine, with a very sore head.Edward "Eddie" Stone is not a happy man - and he knows it.Eddie has embezzled, stolen, lied, repeatedly laundered stacks of well-worn twenty dollar bills and now local law enforcement is on to him and he's running out of places to hide and he did it all to save his 23 year-old son.Well, the boy's not really his son. Actually, they're not even related. But still, he did it for him. All of it. Honest.Paul Periphanitides, Mr. P., is Eddie's employer. He is also not a happy man. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't know that he's unhappy. Not yet. But he will. Soon.Ace Periphanitides, the young twenty-something Eddie's trying to save is pretty much always happy. He's rich, handsome, young, and goes through boyfriends like a sinus infection sufferer goes through boxes of Kleenex. Ace will end up very, very confused, very shortly.In this twisted and torturous tale of errors based on Plautus's favorite play Epidicus, sons are found and lost, love blossoms and then is rudely plucked, mother's hearts are mended and broken and mended again, much money changes hands, and destinies are chosen, sometimes involuntarily. There's also a couple of drunken brawls in some of the rougher neighborhood Lesbian bars.And of course, it all takes place in The City - the city by the bay, San Francisco. - The novel "Thad Says Parts Is Parts (And Thad Is Right)" is Book Two of the Principal Parts Series - Book One of the series is "Spare Parts", a collection of short stories to be out on Amazon in January 2014. Principal Parts is a set of interconnected books and characters about San Franciscans and how they got that way and what they do to stay that way and where they expect to go with all this stuff they're doing.
Thad Snow (1881–1955) was an eccentric farmer and writer who was best known for his involvement in Missouri’s 1939 Sharecropper Protest—a mass highway demonstration in which approximately eleven hundred demonstrators marched to two federal highways to illustrate the plight of the cotton labourers. Snow struggled to make sense of the changing world, and his answers to questions regarding race, social justice, the environment, and international war placed him at odds with many. In Thad Snow, Bonnie Stepenoff explores the world of Snow, providing a full portrait of him. Snow settled in the Missouri Bootheel in 1910—“Swampeast Missouri,” as he called it—when it was still largely an undeveloped region of hardwood and cypress swamps. He cleared and drained a thousand acres and became a prominent landowner, highway booster, and promoter of economic development—though he later questioned the wisdom of developing wild land. In the early 1920s, “cotton fever” came to the region, and Snow started producing cotton in the rich southeast Missouri soil. Although he employed sharecroppers, he became a bitter critic of the system that exploited labour and fostered racism. In the 1930s, when a massive flood and the Great Depression heaped misery on the farmworkers, he rallied to their cause. Defying the conventions of his class, he invited the Southern Tenant Farmers’ Union (STFU) to organize workers on his land. He became a friend and colleague of Owen Whitfield, an African American minister, who led the Sharecroppers’ Roadside Strike of 1939. The successes of this great demonstration convinced Snow that mankind could fight injustice by peaceful means. While America mobilized for World War II, he denounced all war as evil, remaining a committed pacifist until his death in 1955. Shortly before he died, Snow published an autobiographical memoir, From Missouri, in which he affirmed his optimistic belief that people could peacefully change the world. This biography places Snow in the context of his place and time, revealing a unique individual who agonised over racial and economic oppression and environmental degradation. Snow lived, worked, and pondered the connections among these issues in a small rural corner of Missouri, but he thought in global terms. In a new millennium, with the civil rights movement and a series of wars to inform us, these issues still demand our attention today. Well-crafted and highly readable, Thad Snow provides an astounding assessment of an agricultural entrepreneur transformed into a social critic and an activist.
