Opis

A "must read" for art historians.A Clear testament to the strange paradox that genius need not necessarily be inhibited by madness. It is believed that the same hurricane that killed the five hundred men on the Flagler System oversea railroad project in 1926 also killed as many as two thousand migrant farm workers, can cutters, in the sugarcane fields of South Florida.A All the mother fucking rain had caused a hellish flood that submerged the entire region during the night.A The identities and exact number of victims from the flood were never known because many of them were foreign, Haitians and Dominicans mostly, and they were all dirt poor.A Around here at least, if you're dirt poor, nobody gives a fuck what happens to you, especially during the night.
