Citizen Keane

The Big Lies Behind the Big Eyes

By: Cletus Nelson,Adam Parfrey

Teary, big-eyed orphans and a multitude of trashy knockoffs epitomized American kitsch art as they clogged thrift stores for decades. When Adam Parfrey tracked down Walter Keane—the credited artist of the weepy waifs, for a San Diego Reader cover story in 1992—he discovered some shocking facts. Decades of lawsuits and countersuits revealed the reality that Keane was more of a con man than an artist, and that he forced his wife Margaret to sign his name to her own paintings. As a result, those weepy waifs may not have been as capricious an invention as they seemed. Parfrey's story was reprinted in Juxtapoz magazine and inspired a Margaret Keane exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum. And now director Tim Burton is filming a movie about the Keanes called Big Eyes, and it's scheduled for release in 2014. Burton's Ed Wood, starring Johnny Depp, was based upon the Feral House book edited and published by Parfrey about the angora sweater-wearing B-film director. Citizen Keane is a book-length expansion of Parfrey's original article, providing fascinating biographical and sociological details, photographs, color reproductions, and appendices with legal documents and pseudonymous essays by Tom Wolfe inflating big eye art to those painted by the great masters.

God, Why Am I Still Here

Does It Really Matter

By: Cletus Cottrell

As us four brothers were growing up, I felt there was something different about us that just wasn't in conformity to other youngsters in our area. This affected our lifestyle, our schooling process, and of course, our lonely secluded family life. We all want to grow up in a lovable happy home together, like other kids in our neighborhood. Just because we didn't have the nice clothes, a big beautiful fancy house, new car, I didn't feel equal or the same as others. We had to make the best of what we had on our rural farm, then get uprooted, and moved from one home to another that I began to feel abnormal or different. Why did I feel this way, why am I here, and what was I supposed to do with my life? I grew up not knowing what my real purpose in life was to be. My horrible dealings with alcohol led me into depression, suicidal tendencies, and never-ending sins of the world. I was hurt from no parental love and felt lonely and abandoned, abused, and filled with guilt, hate, and anger at myself and many others. It never left or went away. I seemed like a no-win case, but it all changed when I went to my second rehab to get sober where I met a different person who changed the course of my life. It was here that I was introduced to the Lord and Savior of the world, Jesus. It was he who kept me from further killing myself with alcohol and the devious works of Satan. My life has changed drastically and was led to an awesome God who truly loves me. It was soon after all this I met the first true love of my life. Without her, I would not have made it at all. It's through the daily reading of God's Word and prayer that keeps me from backsliding down the wrong path again. I'm also hoping that through this book, that if just one person who is suffering from the same problems gets just one helpful thing from it, then this book was intended to be written and worth it. Amen

RESPONSIBILITY MAKES YOU RESPONSIBLE

By: IGWEMMADU CLETUS J

n as much as we may fantasize about freedom, the truth is, behaving responsibly adds meaning to our lives and gives us a sense of empowerment. Being responsible means understanding responsibility and what one earns by being responsible. This book, "Responsibility Makes You Responsible" is an antidote to the general disease of high expectation of success in one's endeavor without making any useful effort to be successful; a social disease ravaging our youths today, who want to make it in life without offering what it takes to achieve one's expected greatness. It is a serious warning against spiritual and social 419 in action.

Simply Put

By: Rev. Cletus Hansford

The author of this book makes easy reading of complex mysteries in the Bible. For instance: Adam and Eve were not the first two people on Earth. It tells why the Bible is written the way it is. It will reveal why, how, when, and where Noahs flood occurred. The Trinity is explained in its simplicity as never before. It uncovers the myth behind the Rapture conspiracy. It unveils the War in heaven, the katabole, and why one must be born from above. These and other truths are explained in this simple book. God has blessed this author to understand the truth in the Scriptures. It is imperative in these last days that all truths be revealed. Only by knowing these truths can one stand up to the demons and antichrists of this world. If one loves God or seeks to know God, this book can open your eyes to Gods will for each of us. That is for each of us to return to that perfect place in heaven, where it all began with Him.
