But I still feel the artist did a remarkable job in getting these big things across: it's a contemporary tale with deep roots in Roman history...my Caesar is split down the middle between his undying love for Cleopatra and his drive to rule the world again (those dueling lenses on his sunglasses)...and the tone (not ooky-spooky, not comic...but cheeky--the lipstick on his forehead).<br />And, oh, the wee book does not evade JC's sexual rogueness. <br /><br />Dennis, I hope you enjoy it. I'll look forward to your MT review. <br /><br />And, both of you, I'd be very interested in your reaction to the classroom scene, in which my doomed teacher talks of artists through the ages facing the same plight: to find a niche that's theirs alone before it disappears. <br />glitter noirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728649916344336118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-28905381415155880802016-01-12T22:54:44.489+00:002016-01-12T22:54:44.489+00:00'With no outline, with tons of research to do ...'With no outline, with tons of research to do and with no assurance that anyone would read it...'

As I did classics for many years I'm intrigued to know what you've done with that naughty emperor (each man's woman and every woman's man, as he was called in his day, and still finding time to fight battles etc, clearly he could get the staff) and look forward to reading it. It is a good cover, I see you are using mhistory as a crossing genres thing, interested to know if that works when people are browsing book covers.
