HAROLD BRAV - ALEXANDER TROCCHI
Commentary © James A. Harrod, COPYRIGHT PROTECTED; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

The fifth installment of short stories published in Sindbad Vail’s POINTS SHORT STORY ANTHOLOGY has been added to the primary entry for the anthology, the fourth entry for July 2012 in the blog archive.  Harold Brav’s RATS appeared in POINTS 16, and Alexander Trocchi’s THE HOLY MAN appeared in POINTS 17.

A search for details of Harold Brav’s life beyond his association with POINTS has not been successful.  He appears to have been associated with several French films in the capacity of writing sub titles for  The Return of Martin Guerre, Diva, La Provinciale, Mon oncle d'Amerique, and Le Cheval d'Orgueil.

The life of Alexander Trocchi is well documented on the internet.  Some of these references are reproduced in our examination of POINTS 17.
