Keep This Quiet Memoir Series Volume 2

The main personalities in Keep THIS Quiet Too! are Hunter S. Thompson, Milton Klonsky, and Jan Mensaert. However, whereas in the first volume, Hunter Thompson and his letters and presence took center stage, in this second volume the story moves to Jan Mensaert's adopted North African home, Larache, Morocco, and sometimes Casablanca or Essaouira. Occasionally Belgium. For one year the story even moves with Margaret and Jan to in NC. The only scenes in New York City in this volume take place in Milton Klonsky's apartment - once a year - where he again has a vivid presence. And the only appearances of Hunter occur in lively letters - until near the end, where the story moves to his Colorado home, Owl Farm, for a visit by Margaret. Another important location is Zurich, the C. G. Jung Institute. Below you will meet - or remeet - some of these characters.
