John F. Kennedy - Murder Most Foul More than sixty years later. A trial of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy will never take place. The United States Government and the Establishment have always been dead set against it…because they are obviously hiding something. A recent poll reveals that seventy-eight percent of Americans consider the Lee Harvey Oswald ‘lone nut theory’ to be a lie. The biggest lie ever forced on the American people. Bigger than the Vietnam War lie. Only a work of fiction can give closure to what happened in Dallas, Texas to President John F Kennedy, the leader of the Western World on November 22, 1963. Poetic truth is the only truth we will ever know about the death of JFK. Picture a Truth and Reconciliation event taking place in Hades, in a replica of the Oval Office of the White House, presided over by Homer’s Odysseus and his assistant, the oracle Tiresias. Imagine the coming together of the John, Robert, Joe, Edward and Jackie Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, Lyndon Johnson, Allen Dulles (CIA), J. Edgar Hoover (FBI), Jim Garrison, David Ferrie, Johnny Rosselli, Curtis Lemay, David Rockefeller, Cardinal Cushing, Pope John XXXIII, Nikita Khrushchev, Frank Sinatra, and Marilyn Monroe. Odysseus, having mastered ‘theart to find the mind’s construction in the face’ succeeds in solving the greatest whodunit in the history of the world. Read this book today. The truth will set you free… at last, at long last. (Musical Pending) www.raymondcaron.com
This is quite possibly the STRANGEST book I've ever read! It takes place in Hades and is sort of a trial/hearing on the assassination of JFK, run by Tiresias and Odysseus, but it goes all over the place, with "witnesses" such as Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Jim Garrison, LBJ, Richard Nixon, Allen Dulles, you name it. It's kind of a rowdy, otherworldly version of the Warren Commission. To make matters weirder, each chapter is headed by an excerpt from a T.S.Eliot poem, mostly "The Waste Land" which has never been one of my favorites, but whatever. I'm not sure what that has to do with the whole. And this is not a spoiler, but the ending is kind of a foregone conclusion, in a weird way. Also, the whole thing is in DIRE need of an editor; the spelling mistakes drove me out of my mind (which, to be fair, may not be a far distance some days). I would say, read this if you are in need of an LSD trip without drugs.
A commission headed by Odysseus is convened in Hades to collect information on the life and death of John F. Kennedy. Packed with historical figures of the 60s, this novel rings true to its characters. Just a fun, thought provoking read.
