Because You Never Asked (Book One)

Writing essays since the early 90’s, these missives found in “Because You Never Asked” are but a cross section of work that is still in progress today. Grapel considers them therapeutic objections to the paradigm of our culture and the negativity it is leading us into. “All cultures attempt to inculcate their constituents into someone’s narrow-minded, self-serving version of reality and this book is an attempt to translate these subterfuges into the truth,” he says. Although several of his earliest essays are included in this collection, the vast majority of them are contemporary. Regardless of the chronology, you will find they remain pertinent to whatever is happening around us at this moment.
