The author invites citizens of Earth to ponder the agonies of the damned as he strums the Black Hole Blues for saints and suckers alike. He also cordially requests that the dove and the raven go beyond their studies of the politics of death in order to consider new forms of freedom. Those newly graduated from Scoutmaster School may also attend to romances of the highest mind in order to begin their studies as Sons of Lightning once they have copied down their lessons from The Blackboard of God. Innocent bystanders are also allowed once they have made their way between the church and the whorehouse and hopefully will find treasures of understanding during visiting hours of the crucified.
The author now offers you Freedom Beyond the Labyrinth so that you can finally remove the mask of agony you have been wearing while reinventing the white mans world and the ideas of white men so that you may depart the sights in the cave and take a permanent step forward. Beyond the worship of shadows and a specter between two worlds, you will be invited to peruse a short history in degradation that hopefully will bring you beyond imagination and the flight of the undead to a place, where dignity surfaces into focus, and you experience a breakthrough to paradise. We expect you will find there is more to life than the dynamo of hell or even the heaven complex and in the land beyond gods and goddesses and past the sirens of doom lies sudden life in blood time for super soul as victory comes knocking with world series values for masters of freedom while they picnic in the clouds. There will be plenty of time to smell the classic ghetto roses while you carry your edition of the Latest Earth Times Review back to the Mountains of the Muse, where I hear what goes around flips the script to the ideas of black men as we return you now to Ben Franklin and Divine Right.
Solomon Grant began as a one-man show the author used to perform at coffeehouses and on university campuses.

Whether you accept all that he says in faith or take it with a grain of salt, you are advised to check your reality at the door. You are entering the never-ending universe of Solomon Grant. We trust that you will leave with more questions than you came with.
The author wishes to offer you more than the standard fare of sex and violence that normally comes with your popcorn, burgers, and fries. He is betting you have been hankering for a little courage and love, spiced with pride and faithfulness, and that you might find a turn to nobility and truth more to your tastes. This book of movie reviews samples the classics and more contemporary selections. You will discover the author’s observations and thoughts about Twelve Years a Slave as well as Amiri Baraka’s The Dutchman. We will examine Edison with Spencer Tracy and David Mamet’s Oleanna. James Coburn will take us dancing and prancing through death and danger as Our Man Flint, and we will have a front-row seat to Klaatu’s stern lecture to humanity in The Day the Earth Stood Still. After a round trip through The Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan and Jett Li, we will, at length, settle down to a glass of milk and a slice of apple pie with Young Tom Edison. Finally, with all this under our belt, we might, at last, find ourselves meditating and contemplating upon a route toward a new cinema.
