I want to talk about a subject that no one never really talks about because I'm sure nobody even really knows it exists.

And that is the subject of Kennedy assassination fiction.

I kind of want to call it fan fiction, but I don't know.

There is no original author for the Kennedy assassination, not in the terms we would expect

literarily.

But yes, there's a whole world of Kennedy assassination fiction, which I think is rather fascinating.

Perhaps it's a way for someone to explain how they think the assassination went down, but not in a way that they could say as nonfiction, right?

They're kind of inputting their own speculations and whatnot and putting it out as fiction.

I don't think I'll ever do that, although I might have to to get my explanation across at some point in time in the future.

But today I want to go through and read a couple chapters from a book called Twice Dead by Larry D. Names, which I promise you is not a real name.

So this book originally came out in 1978.

And I don't think there's a real name on this thing at all, and I'm pretty confident whatever

publisher put this thing out is long out of business.

1963 wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald?
