Now that’s funny.
Best case scenario is we get some cheap graphic novel cliff notes version before he dies.
He’s cashed in. The world and story he created would take more time and effort than he has left in him to finish it right.

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan
Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager—obsessed with music, food, and girls—but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.
In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier—a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.
Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share.

Read “The Stonewall of the West” about Patrick Cleburne over Labor Day. Pretty good book.
Now reading “Grant and Twain” by Mark Perry. A fairly interesting easy read so far. One fun note I learned, Lincoln and his law partner nominated George Pickett to West Point. Almost had to be his law partner, but legend attributes it to Lincoln. Still a close enough link to be interesting.

My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk.
I'm about a third of the way through right now, and I'm fascinated. It's about the master artists in Istanbul in the 1500s. They are working together on a masterpiece for the sultan, a large illustrated book. But some of them, instead of continuing to paint in the style of the old masters, are becoming influenced by new, Western ideas of individuality and style. And others are becoming influenced by the ideas of a radical cleric who says that any artistic depiction of a human or animal is a violation of the Koran. And now one of them has been murdered, but who did it, and why?
Since Pamuk is a Nobel winner, I'm expecting the rest of the book to be as good as the beginning.
