What happens during those weeks and in its aftermath will shape not only the world, but also the lives of those who experienced it, demonstrating the truth inherent in all war, and that as soldiers of every age have experienced, war is not only fought without but within, and the macrocosm of a world in conflict also reflects an intrinsic war where each man and woman must find his and her own sense of peace.

Stubbs was still alive when he was found, but died later in the hospital. Shortly before his beating, Stubbs was seen with a group of hippie types and was acting out of character. Stubbs was described by friends as a religious man who befriended anyone he came upon. In November of 1968, friends of 80 year-old Karl Stubbs found him severely beaten in front of his home in Olancha, California. Of the three murders mentioned in the warrant, only two were specifically named – Karl Stubbs and Fillipo Tennerelli.

Geoff Emerick became an assistant engineer at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in 1962 at age fifteen, and was present as a new band called the Beatles recorded their first songs. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think it would be easy for readers to write Animal off as an unrealistic representation of men-and there are elements of it that lend me to agree with this assumption-but I would argue that isn’t a fair assessment. ![]() While the consistency of disgusting behaviour felt a bit exaggerated when reading in a condensed book of roughly 300 pages, if we were to think through the span of our lives I think our creepy old dude meter would be ticking right up with Joan’s. While to me it felt like that is the only perspective we got, I simply can’t argue with the fact that these people exist and it wouldn’t be a stretch to say most of us are fairly familiar with them in our own lives. ![]() The men depicted in this book mostly all fall under the umbrella of “creepy old dude,” with a few exceptions. It is hard to tell whether Taddeo was writing the men this way as an accurate or ironic depiction of stereotypical attributes we are all very familiar with. All of the men in Animal are simply: the worst. ![]() ![]() (Two older half sisters had married before Robert was born.)
