The writing is nearly finis  on RED JUMBO. 


Red is a left-wing unemployed bored alcoholic
who has made two big decisions today. 

​And since the turn of the century. 

His first decision is to become a private eye,
​starting tomorrow, and his first case involves
the death of the maid at the estate of Mrs. Hamptons 
(and her husband, Mr. Hamptons). Mrs. Hamptons is
an ultra right-wing, Southern California liquor magnate 
and anti-immigration lobbyist with an electric fence 
around her house.

Mrs. Hamptons is so afraid of getting coffee in her cream,
she's even got ​electric dresses! 

Red's other decision today is to stop drinking.
For him, this case will be either a conflict of interest
​or attention span. 

The novel RED JUMBO is meant for good clean fun
on a brisk red and yellow autumn afternoon, maybe
by the silver-blue moonlight of a summer night (other seasons, too), 
accompanied by a refreshing glass of your favorite pain-killer, 
but it will also introduce a real world changer: the rascally,
kind-hearted concept of "under the table citizenship"
will show up in this story (until the table is irrelevant), subtle as 
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

​Wild and warm as Charlie Parker's horn. 
Occasionally calm, like moonlight on a pillow case. 


RED JUMBO.
​A Utopian Non-Detective Novel, in which no one is illegal.
Or alienated.
Or, a detective.
