Paula Johnson always claimed money doesn’t influence choice, but is it true? When notified of an unexpected inheritance she is shaken. Crying, she wondered if it was over Charley’s death or for the lost innocence of those bohemian years in Paris…counter-culture indeed, revolutionaries of peace. ‘What a message we gave our kids…They were presented with drugs and sexuality as a recreational sport and advertising tool; of race and class as a primary identity instead of as pieces of the whole. We intended to give them freedom to define themselves. Instead our generation only confused them.’ She had dated since her husband died. The fact of being a white woman who had married a black man was part of her identity that put her in unspoken limbo. She missed the years with Roy…when something about their alchemy together prevented any prejudice they encountered from touching them…it only scraped the surface. Lack of money could no longer be her excuse for accepting limited relationships and addictive behavior. The years suddenly knit together as a Cat’s Cradle when pulling the strands tight…Fullness of heart…pervaded her senses.

Tal pesquisa recupera e reapresenta sujeitos produtores dos múltiplos indícios golpistas enredados naquela trama. Reentra nos diálogos envolvendo o contexto internacional daqueles anos, que se apresentavam interpenetrados ao embate ideológico gestor da incessante busca por hegemonia geopolítica caracterizadora da bipolarização entre potências capitalistas e/ou comunistas.

“A painful truth of family life: the most tender emotions can change in an instant. You think your parents love you but is it you they love, or the child who is theirs?” --Joyce Carol Oates, My Life as a Rat Which should prevail: loyalty to family or loyalty to the truth? Is telling the truth ever a mistake and is lying for one’s family ever justified? Can one do the right thing, but bitterly regret it? My Life as a Rat follows Violet Rue Kerrigan, a young woman who looks back upon her life in exile from her family following her testimony, at age twelve, concerning what she knew to be the racist murder of an African-American boy by her older brothers. In a succession of vividly recalle...
