Domination vs Oppression – the explicit version

Other Voices, Other Genres: Marc Nash
In my continuing adventure to thrust suspect and dangerous people upon you, I’d like to introduce you to Marc Nash. He has a very challenging view of how to be a writer. I’d like to be more like him. When did you start writing? Apocrypha has it that I scrawled the word ‘help’ in amniotic […]
