“The Child and the Fury” opens with a portrait of Tyke. Tyke’s family includes her white mother and black father. What a hodgepodge: all the way from Grandpa Jefferson Davis Jones (guess how he feels about inter-racial marriages) to her anti-Semitic black Uncle Billy. Tyke’s family eventually expands to include Ben, the Jewish chap who plays a pivotal role in the story.Someone has written an anti-African tract, Protocols of The Learned Chieftains of Africa. This tract tells a lying tale about a black plot to enslave the white race, with the help of voodoo. Protocols of the Learned Chieftains of Africa is adapted from Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic tract published 100 years ago. Some villagers believe the story and are ready to attack, starting by kidnapping a child.
This year is near the 100th anniversary of Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a notorious anti-Semitic tract still alive today. Hitler believed in, and acted upon, this tract. That fact alone makes the Zion Protocols one of the seminal documents of the 20th century.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Aram Calhoun is the pen name of the author. “The Child and The Fury” is his first novel. Aram takes his name from the first and last names, respectively, of two ancestors killed in the U.S. Civil War.Aram is a lawyer. He was raised in small U.S. Midwestern villages. He never met anyone of the Jewish persuasion until he went to college. Ever since, he has wondered about the mystery of the Jews. He has thought, read, and even prayed about what It is all about.
This novel touches upon both Jews and Christians. Aram was born, raised, and remains a Christian. Aram has three daughters. Tyke, the half-white, half-black heroine child, whom the Aryan villains try to kill, is drawn from Aram’s experiences with his own children. Tyke is a strong-minded child; so are Aram’s daughters. Aram believes in our sacred Bill of Rights, the Chicago Bears, and St. Therese of Lisieux.
