In Please Forgive Us, Richard Hauptmann the imagination of well-known true crime writer and playwright, Wendy Lewis, lights on a white cat, Ned Kelly, the voice of Dusty Springfield, the subject of dementia, the statue of Venus de Milo, and a serial killer. Intrigued? You should be! That’s just a short list of the offerings in this lively volume of short stories, poems and “surreal pieces”. The case of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, who gives the volume its title and who was executed for the abduction and murder of the baby son of aviator Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne, is reviewed by a non-human Truth Provider of a future time. Live animal smuggling finds an unexpected avenger. The South American jungle is seen through the eyes of Friedrich Nietzsche’s sister, Elizabeth. Life and death overlap in a red spotted skirt.
In this latest of her works, Wendy Lewis introduces each of the pieces with a photo and an authorial comment, providing a perfect entree into the remarkable collection of creative gems. Sometimes darkly merry, sometimes disturbing, sometimes haunting, but always highly provocative and entertaining, Please Forgive Us, Richard Hauptmann is the perfect distraction for the mind weary of its own company.
