In this sequel to Keep This Quiet! Margaret lives in villages in Morocco with her exotic, fascinating, unstable Belgian poet husband, Jan Mensaert. But the book focuses on her encounters with the three \u201coutlaw\u201d authors. She re-energizes on a one-liner diet of advice, deeply digested and wise, from genius-poet Milton Klonsky, which she reports to the reader, magically, as if her mind were a tape recorder. Also, the reader is privy to Gonzo updates from Hunter S. Thompson\u2014the relationship never losing its hold, even necessity. At one point, trying desperately to find her in 1971, Hunter writes, \u201cDear Margaret, Where are you and why? I’ve lost track completely. My last definite word was from a toilet-hole in Algiers.\u201d A most fitting ending takes place at Hunter\u2019s Owl Farm. In fine form, he is trying to pick back up the romance and take it to the next level. They both are.<\/p>\n

MARGARET\u2019S COMMENT
\nJust landed on New York City soil for a brief stopover in New York, where did I go? Of course, unannounced, my feet took me down to West Fourth Street in the Village, walking the entire distance from midtown, telling myself I didn’t know where I was walking to. Of course, I knew. To Milton Klonsky\u2019s for my yearly indispensable feasting on his witticisms and steely analysis of whatever current predicament I found myself in in my marriage. His advice might be, when I bemoaned Jan Mensaert\u2019s suicidal tendencies, \u201cGive him something to rise to. . . Or go down with him. But don’t be a bystander while this man commits suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Never, that is, be a bystander in your life. Plunge into it. I always felt ten miles high, after listening to such talk from an insider, who knew life through and through. And had the soul of a guru. With Hunter the attraction was otherwise, but\u2014necessary. Often we caught up on these by phone and letter on these trips to the States. Then back to Morocco. Fourteen years of Oum Kalthoum, and Jacques Brel, and of course Mozart, all Jan’s favorites. And I forget Piaf.<\/p>\n
