Time for a new topic, don't you think?

I found this on his publisher's Web site: The Seed, a reported memoir of brainwashing to be published in the Summer of 2010.

Anyone know more about the book?

I don't know if the above link will work, but I tried. It's the most recent article I could find. My earlier post didn't include a link--I got that info off of his publisher's Web site.

I checked Amazon.com, but no luck there regarding the Seed book.

I was in Lauderdale 1974.

This is the relevant part of the article I just linked to:

More personal is a reported memoir about a home for "incorrigibles" to which he was sent as a troubled 13-year-old: He had been arrested for selling "marijuana" to classmates that turned out to be catnip. The home -- called the Seed, he recalls -- "used North Korean brainwashing techniques to straighten out kids: sleep deprivation, threats of physical violence, humiliation and boxing."

He learned "Lord of the Flies"-like lessons about hierarchy and the way people worship a strong leader. "The group was trying to destroy me as a person," Wright says. "So I respect people who go against the dominant paradigm."

If he was in the seed, somebody should remember him.
It's hard to believe that a writter who was a seed kid, has never posted here.
Any way to get contact info for him??
