Dantes Inferno: A Retelling in Prose - David Bruce

Detalii:

Bruce, David: - nIt was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a cry rang out, and on a hot summer night in 1954, Josephine, wife of Carl Bruce, gave birth to a boy - me. Unfortunately, this young married couple allowed Reuben Saturday, Josephines brother, to name their first-born. Reuben, aka The Joker, decided that Bruce was a nice name, so he decided to name me Bruce Bruce. I have gone by my middle name -- David -- ever since.n n n n n nBeing named Bruce David Bruce hasnt been all bad. Bank tellers remember me very quickly, so I dont often have to show an ID. It can be fun in charades, also. When I was a counselor as a teenager at Camp Echoing Hills in Warsaw, Ohio, a fellow counselor gave the signs for sounds like and two words, then she pointed to a bruise on her leg twice. Bruise Bruise?n n n n n nOh yeah, Bruce Bruce is the answer!n n n n n nUncle Reuben, by the way, gave me a haircut when I was in kindergarten. He cut my hair short and shaved a small bald spot on the back of my head. My mother wouldnt let me go to school until the bald spot grew out again.n n n n n nn n n n n nOf all my brothers and sisters (six in all), I am the only transplant to Athens, Ohio. I was born in Newark, Ohio, and have lived all around Southeastern Ohio. However, I moved to Athens to go to Ohio University and have never left.n n n n n nAt Ohio U, I never could make up my mind whether to major in English or Philosophy, so I got a bachelors degree with a double major in both areas, then I added a Master of Arts degree in English and a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy. Yes, I have my MAMA degree.n n n n n nn n n n n nCurrently, and for a long time to come (I eat fruits and veggies), I am spending my retirement writing books such as Nadia Comaneci: Perfect 10, The Funniest People in Comedy, Homers Iliad: A Retelling in Prose, and William Shakespeares Hamlet: A Retelling in Prose.n n n n n nIf all goes well, I will publish one or two books a year for the rest of my life. (On the other hand, a good way to make God laugh is to tell Her your plans.)n n n n n nBy the way, my sister Brenda Kennedy writes romances such as A New Beginning and Shattered Dreams.n
