“No one reads anymore” is a common refrain.

“Bofǽllesskab” literally means “living together communities." The English prefix CO- means “together.” The dictionary lists out many CO-words, such as cocreate, convivial, cooperation, and community.

This is not the time for “pull yourself up by the bootstraps.” This is the time for, “if we’re going to get something done, let’s meet this Saturday afternoon. Let’s make this happen together.”

Bill Thomas proves that sometimes, if not usually, art is more to the point, and even truer than non-fiction. And certainly more powerful and honest because it says what can’t be said or even always proven or even implied as non-fiction.
