Absence: Life With Jeffrey Smart During His First Years in Europe

by Harry L. Forsman

Overview

TABU - PROVOCATIONS – OFFENCES. Don't be deterred even if writing a review will be difficult. If you dislike the book, you may be harassed on social media as an ignorant bigot; if you like what you read you may be harassed for endorsing the offensive behaviour and attitudes in the book. Be free, read and discuss – if you want to be away from media choose Discussion on our website. Welcome.

In a literary form, the writer, clinical psychologist and Dr of psychology, Harry L. Forsman, presents a mosaic of colourful scenes with men who struggle with their need for love and for close togetherness with boys and younger men. In the shadow of the greatest filicide on earth, a brutal rape with full consent,  and the consented exploitation of minors, give colour to a part of this book's narrative. 

On a hot Mediterranean island, they drink and smoke and swear and ventilate politically improper views and display attitudes most people find offensive. The writer serves the ifs and buts and pros and cons of many sets of love, even felonious, and he presents provocative conditions but leave the reader free to form his own view. 

The youngster claimed that parents with ignorance and subtle negligence prepare their sons to be the loot of older and lascivious men, once son of a mother and a father preventing their child to grow up normally to be a man amongst all other men.
