"And you are sure there can't be two mes?" You know the one me, you say, and that is good." "Then why shouldn't you be good to other people as well as to me?" "That's just it I am good to you because I like to be good." "I don't know, except it be because it's good to be good to me." "Then I must be good to you because I choose to be good to you."

Were innocent men and women now going to the gallows? And would George Bodle's killer be found? In doing so, however, he would cause as many problems as he solved. The investigation, which gained international attention, brought together a colorful cast of characters: bickering relatives a drunken, bumbling policeman and James Marsh, an unknown but brilliant chemist who, assigned the Bodle case, attempted to create a test that could accurately pinpoint the presence of arsenic. Three days later, after lingering in agony, wealthy George Bodle died in his bed at his farmhouse in Plumstead, leaving behind several heirs, including a son and grandson-both of whom were not on the best of terms with the family patriarch.

So, on a scale of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days to True Detective I figure Greenlights is a solid Magic Mike - simply structured, a little flashy, but not as insightful as it wants you to think it is. McConaughey has obviously navigated this successfully, but his wisdom isn’t exactly transferrable. The 'Greenlights' of the title refers to moments when the universe gives us permission to do new things reds and yellows are the things that stand in our way. He calls it an approach book, a way of seeing reality. Be it through memoir or Instapoetry, McConaughey pushes an ethos of learning to take your hands off the wheel. Greenlights is the result of this taking stock, and while McConaughey focuses on his own life and experiences in it, he hopes that the book will be helpful to others as well. The bad thing, though, is that he obviously wrote it himself and seems certain that in addition to being a memoirist he’s also a certified motivational speaker and, worse, a poet. A great thing about Greenlights is that the persona never sounds like a put-on. The book’s content is inspired by McConaughey’s personal writings from the past 35 years and is part of his aim to live my legacy now. The world is on fire, but he has got you he’s our mindful-breathing Brando. Greenlights (2020), his first book, functions as both a memoir and an explication of his life philosophy. McConaughey’s self-effacing slacker-cool attitude, which lets him casually drop a few thousand on the hapless Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl, has made him an ideal masculine movie hero for our anxious moment. |
