You never know when the public and events will catch up to one’s writing ideas — authors are often «before our time». Decades ago I published «Le Paradis», a controversial book in French/English about the after-effects of French nuclear testing (cancer, environmental issues etc.), the effects of colonization upon local culture, religion, language, as well as the introduction of drugs and prostitution. Amazon France refused to list my book for several years, and a literary giant in Tahiti tried to impede publication — but I perservered. And now — finally a commentary on how the peoples are still suffering from cancer as a result of nuclear testing decades ago.
