After "Invisible Life" there were more than a few midnight phone calls to "Father" Harris, who did keep the secrets - even when he used some of the minor details and the overarching sense of desperation his communicants felt as grist for his writing mill. Of course, he also had the awful experiences of his youth to drawn on, and he did. I met him, a few years ago, at an awards banquet where he was receiving a prize. I spoke to him of Hoyt Fuller - about whom he knew nothing - and the invisibility of "Black World" magazine. He listened with what seemed to me real interest. I have a snapshot of him with Brian Baker and Lisa Moore. Someone took one of him with me, but I don't know where it is at the moment. By the time of that award banquet, he was that rarest of all birds, a millionaire black author, and most of his personal ghosts seemed to have been laid. He deserved his success. He died still pursuing his dream and he died much, much too young. The secrets he shared died with him. Unless,of course,he kept notes . . . pardon me, but I feel a novel coming on.radbear67https://www.blogger.com/profile/16618092363015368533noreply@blogger.com
