I read “the Good Nazi” while I was at the Weekapaug Inn, albeit now newly restored.The story captures the Inn’s atmosphere perfectly and
the ending is memorable. I see Christolph Waltz playing the Good Nazi.

Lean, mean and thoroughly original. RHJ paints atmosphere and facts with the least amount of words possible. Never know where he’s going and always willing to follow him there. So much with so little- Mies van der Rohe of the VERY short story (but not really with a minimalist’s sensibility- way too much emotional detail for Mies.)

I can’t honestly say that I know who Carl is at the end- and I like that I don’t.

Beautiful painting by Mr Levine

Jonsey – You maybe rough around the edges, but what a warm heart! Came through in all the wonderful prose of your story. Left me wanting more!

Great line: “A couple of times we stopped yelling at each other because we realized we were yelling at each other.” Followed up by another great line: “We stopped fighting only because we were hungry.”

Pure blooded anglo saxons anti semites clubs for wasps only summer camp for the privileged concentration camps for those nasty jews and meathooks. Do we ever get the point?

Wow. Some lawn bowling, some cribbage, and a meat hook. Really tight, well done.

RHJ, One of your best. Your craft shines here. This had that subtle rhythm of the fine story writer you are, along with the intensity of the soldier’s dead on minimalist “observer”. The mix of these is terrific. Well done.

Robert Jones just reeled in a new fan! His writing is like a “walk off” homerun over the Green Monster at Fenway Park in the 11’th inning—-WOW!

A moving story, terrific title. Even in the most inhumane circumstances, an act of touching, humane kindness, saving a man’s life, and maybe his heart and humanity. Nice painting, too.

Mere moments between the banal (a marital spat) to the questioning of what it means to be human. Don’t know how you threaded that needle, Jones, but you did. Wow.
