Circle Walker is novella which makes for compelling reading. It deals with the present-day plight of Native Americans and addresses issues of poverty, social deprivation, colour, racial prejudice and equality. It is set in 20th century USA but the questions raised are enduringly universal in time and place.

The story of Luke Benson, otherwise known as Circle Walker, concerns the plight of Native Americans in general, but, in particular, the Lakota Sioux resident on the Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota. This novella draws attention to the conditions of abject socio- economic deprivation in which they are expected to subsist, conditions which have recently been to some limited extent observed in the media by the resentment felt by Native Americans for the government’s alleged neglect in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The history of Luke Benson raises further questions of current and universal interest concerning racial prejudice, the Black Lives Matter Movement,  and the dangers inherent in the American establishment’s repeated attempts at ‘red-white’ assimilation, the essential issue being how to achieve complete and meaningful racial equality while at the same time preserving the integrity of ethnic cultural identity and authenticity.    

About the Author         

P R Brown studied Philosophy at University College, Swansea, and gained his doctorate at St John’s College, Cambridge.  He is the author of several books, both fiction and non-fiction, each title dealing with issues of current and profound socio-cultural importance.  His motivation to write stems from his persistent belief that one essential genre of literature, still he hopes extant, must concern itself with the unpopular activity of critical thinking and appraisal.

Masterpiece
Format: Kindle
It has been said that any work of literature should be gauged upon how much the work makes the reader think. Ben Wickey has certainly achieved this - in spades - as one of the “civilised” world’s most frightening episodes is revisited with respect and thoughtfulness on the human condition.

The Tale of Salem
Format: Paperback
If you’re not familiar with the history of Salem and its witch trials, this graphic novel is a solid entry point. The author, while not a historian, clearly put in the work—spending time in Salem, connecting with residents, and striving to honor both the historical record and the modern-day sentiments of those who live with that legacy. His goal was to get the facts right while also capturing how the people of Salem view their own history, and I think he succeeded in that respect. The artwork fits the subject matter well. We often imagine people of that time as living hard, joyless lives, and the art conveys that sense of austerity. The mix of black-and-white and color panels is sometimes striking—there are moments where the color really enhances the impact of a scene—but other times I wasn’t sure what it added. Still, the black-and-white aesthetic ties neatly into the grim tone of the era. That said, the book is quite long, and if you’re already well-versed in the Salem Witch Trials, you may not learn much new in terms of facts. But if you enjoy studying the trials or want to explore the story through a different medium, this graphic novel is definitely worth picking up. For me, it landed at a 3.5 stars, which I’ll round up to 4 (since I usually do that when posting on review sites).

Salem's a Lot
Format: Paperback
Great comic that deserves to be at the top end of best of 2025 lists. Intensively researched with multiple art approaches to the varied settings. It also made me want to take a trip to Salem in the off-season. A virtuosic undertaking!

Offers the bloody, beating heart of the Salem Witch Trials
Format: Paperback
Unlike so many books and movies that examine the Salem Witch Trials from an academic or outsider perspective, "More Weight" plunges you into the everyday life of 1692 Salem. Giles Corey's story is often boiled down to the story of his death but he and Martha are given a deeper look here, with the result of some truly disturbing pages. The addition of Hawthorne and Longfellow sharing their thoughts in 1860 and then a look at what Salem is today, further enriches an already multi-layered story. Incredible work.
