THE NOTEBOOKS OF WILLY WHITEFEATHER: When Willy Whitefeather's notebooks arrived at my home, I was a bit perplexed as to how I would capture their essence. They reminded me so much of my own notes, the ones I take when having mystical experiences, which are often only understandable to me. In my case, my notes are also illegible. But Willy's notes were very readable and filled with beautiful art. How would I compile and really interpret these writings? How would I do them justice?But then, it came to me that it was the notes themselves that had value, in their rawest form; because these are the thoughts, dreams, visions and stories of one of our great Native American elders. What an honor it has been for me to compile his stories, his notebooks, and his work. May you allow the words and images portrayed in Willy Whitefeather's notebooks to penetrate your understanding and give you a glimpse into the mind of a mystic, visionary, storyteller, elder and chief. I give to you 'The Notebooks of Willy Whitefeather, ' please honor them. "The sun comes at dawn . . . and it knocks the darkness from the sky. It doesn't make a sound. And that is how spiritual awareness happens, that is how the Great Spirit works." Willy Whitefeather(For more info - http: //outofbodytravel.org)
While Vili has neither the multi-generational sweep nor the moral gravitas of Singer’s family sagas, its themes are nonetheless timeless, its struggles archetypal. A father and son grapple with each other, and, in the process, a richly compact narrative emerges: a rebellious son leaves his ancestral home—an unnamed village in Poland—to find adventure among strangers and lose tradition and family along the way. Their respective stories define what is lost and what is gained in the immigrant passage to the new world. The eponymous hero, Volf Rubin—or Willy (Vili) Robin in America—is the rare agon who must share center stage with his antagonist, that is, his more voluble paterfamilias. The sententious Hirsh—modeled on Singer's own painful childhood interactions with the savage brutality of the chief rabbi of Nyesheve—tenaciously holds onto some of the more merciless and "bone- breaking" pronouncements derived from a literalist reading and application of Jewish law. Such is the heavy baggage which, according to Volf, should have been left behind in steerage. Volf's lapsed Judaism is his father’s dystopian nightmare. He much prefers nature and farm animals to any form of classroom. Eventually, he leaves home for the New World, and there a whole new story unfolds—or is it so “new”?

Willy Brandt, the first Social Democratic Chancellor of West Germany (1969-1974) was perhaps the most charismatic German leader since Hitler. His life reflects German 20th-century history from the Weimar Republic to the new Germany as a result of unification with the GDR. He was mayor of Berlin when the Wall was built (1961) and as Chancellor he initiated Ostpolitik which indirectly contributed to the fall of the Iron Curtain. As Chairman of the North-South Commission he drew the world's attention to the plight of the Third World. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.
