Simon8 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Bolden was also the subject of Michael Ondaatje's superb Coming Through Slaughter. Tough act to follow ! Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 I haven't read that, but to me, the more interesting way to go would be to de-mythologize him, make into a not-very-good player who is somehow legend-ized accidentally. Quote
Christiern Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 I rather like to think of Bolden as an early clean air advocate. Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 took me a minute to figure that one out. Quote
