Our Full On Foray Into The World of Fiction And Non-Fiction Physical Manifestations Has For TheOrator.Press (TO.P) @TheOrator.PressOnInsta Been Quite The Full Circle Moment. In Late June, Ben Crump, aka America’s Attorney General And The American Attorney For The George Floyd Family Visited The Black Cultural Archives In Brixton As Part of His Book Tour Promoting His No.1 New York Times Bestseller ‘Worse Than A Lie’ (Said By Some To Be The Modern Day ‘To Kill A Mocking Bird’). Whilst He Did Not Give A Reading He Did Reveal This Novel Is To Be Turned Into A TV Series And He Gave A Presentation Which Was Utterly Inspiring.
He Appeared In Parliament The Next Day Addressing The House On Civil Rights Issues (After Having Signed A Copy of His Book And Encouraging Us To Keep Going.
We Started The Magazine As A Direct Result of The Police Brutality Murder of George Floyd In America During Lockdown And The Global Protests That Erupted Afterwards. So It Was An Honor To Meet The Floyd Family Lawyer And Interview Him Too. Our Quest Is Fully Refreshed And We Shall Indeed “Keep Kicking” As He Strongly Advocates Civil Rights Supporters And Global Citizens Who Believe In Humanity For Everybody Do. (More On Which Later In The Series!).
Meantime Here Are Some Great Books And Book Clubs That Have Recently Caught Our Attention At This Time
Style & Fashion. Fabulous Faberge. And The First Friday Club At Peckham Library. Different Talks, Presentations, Conversations.

Ben Crump Delivers As A Practising Lawyer And As A Compelling. His Latest Book ‘Worse Than A Lie’ Hit The New York Times Bestsellers List Recently And Is Said To Be The Modern Day ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’. Whilst Beau’ Lee’ Cooper’ Is The Main Protagonist, Not Atticus Finch, The Clues Are All There In The Name. Sadly White Violence Murders of An Innocent Black Man Are Still Being Perpetrated Today. Difference Is With Authors & Lawyers Like Ben Crump (Lawyer To George Floyd’s Family & Author of This Novel) It’s Not As Easy For The Perpetrators To Get Away With Their Wretched Racist Deeds These Days. Especially When Their Latest Attack Is On A Black Man Who Just Sok Happens To Be An Ex-Cop. Beau Lee Cooper Is His Lawyer. TV Series Coming Soon!
At The Bookseller Crow Book Club We Asked One of The Participants Who Revealed That He’d Listened To The Audio Version of ‘Borderline Fiction’ By Mark Owusu If The Narration Was Different At The Poignant Ages of 19 Years Old And 25, As Owusu Narrates The Book Himself And It Is Semi-Autobiographical. The Answer Was Affirmative. So Whilst Bookseller Crow’s Wednesday Book Club Readers Were In Consensus That It Was A Tough Read But Worth It, The Listen Might Be Even More Powerful. Again Do Let Us Know/
Cynthia Erivo’s Simple More Is A Must Read For Fans of The Wicked Movies And This Living Goddess In General.

It Is Supreme Like The South Londoner Herself And One of The Best Self-Help Books Ever Written. If You Want Magic. This Tells You How To Make It Happen! @cynthiaerivo
