“Americans have discovered the fragility of life, that ominous fragility that the rest of the world either already experienced or is experiencing now with terrible intensity.”
Jose Saramago,
November 16, 1922,
Portuguese Author & Nobel Prize Winner
Our lives, as Americans, are changing. When I was a child, I vividly remember visiting the Norman Rockwell museum. I was enthralled with the “charmed” lives of the people in his art work, the simplicity, the joy. His work captured the innocence and mores of post WWII America. But even then, I knew these pieces of work did not depict my America. Twenty-five years later, I can say with great certainty, there will be no return to Rockwell.
