In Reply to: WE CAN SLEEP SAFE -. US denies visa to Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. posted by Harmonia on September 29, 2002 at 14:32:45:
Hi,
there is an author by the name of Farley Mowatt. He is a gentle Canadian biologist, and an excellent writer. Mostly, he writes about his experiences, which for most writers results in mediocre novels. Farly had an amazing life,and writes about it with charm. Never Cry Wolf was made into a movie; but the book is 5 times better. I read that book twice in one day, it's hysterical.
Farley has a fascination with the North. So it was not surprising he should go to Siberia. Unfortunately, he went at the height of the Cold War, and recounted the warm hospitality his hosts accorded him in a book. That book got him banned from the United States; and I don't that his status has ever changed.Saying anything nice about Russians in the 50's; well...quelle horror. To think they might have some nice people there, shocking one would say such a thing. I believe he was denied entry into the US during the first Bush administration,this after the freaking Berlin Wall fell. So when you tell me a Bush did something like that, what can I say, the apple did not fall far from the tree.
