Do you find it odd the Frank Marshall Davis’s post-humous biography ‘Livin the Blues’ went silent during his years in Hawaii?
I haven't got that far. I initially bought the book for the references in it (Of which Jack Cashill made me aware) regarding Frank Davis expertise in Photography and his interest in taking Photographs of nude women. After finding that section, I've been reading the rest of the book from time to time. I'm at the point where Frank is leaving Chicago. If he does go silent regarding the Hawaiian period, that is indeed strange and interesting. I think he was much more overt about his communist activities while in Hawaii, and he probably doesn't want to shed any light on that period of his life both for his own liabilities and from the possibility of harming his group or contacts.
