Better. It's a longer story than just the mutiny and trial centered around ensign Keith. Of course the vernacular jumps out also, words such as gay and queer are used fairly often. The only thing i didn't like was the relationship with the girl, she was kind of annoying.

Hard not to hear Humphrey Bogart whenever Queeg speaks !

Not really any parallels, Queeg was a petty, paranoid victim.

Edit: might need to think about that some more.

I have no memory of going to this site. Possibly shock triggered some eraser effect. I read it twice before reading it to my wife.

The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump
by Rob Sears

Overview:
"What if there's a hidden dimension to Donald Trump; a sensitive, poetic side? Driven by this question, Rob Sears began combing Trump's words for signs of poetry. What he found was a revelation. By simply taking the 45th President of the United States' tweets and transcripts, cutting them up and reordering them, Sears unearthed a trove of beautiful verse that was just waiting to be discovered. This groundbreaking collection gives readers a glimpse of Trump's innermost thoughts and feelings on everything from the nature of truth, to what he hates about Lord Sugar. And it will reveal a hitherto hidden Donald, who may surprise and delight both students and critics alike. Now with fifteen all-new poems as we lurch deeper into the Trump presidency, this timely publication also includes Sears' scholarly footnotes and introduction, in which he excavates new critical angles and insights into the President's poetry which the casual reader might initially overlook."
