Break His Bones

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ November 1, 1995

Last updated on

I mentioned in SR27 that a major U.S. periodical wanted to take a look at an excerpt from the manuscript. It was The New Yorker. I have to say that once again I felt an enthusiastic optimism about the possibility of being published in an important periodical. There are some of us who can never learn. The editor who asked to see the piece understood going in who I am and what I do, but the excerpt was rejected. Even after all the other rejections I’ve received from main stream media, this one was disappointing. The Buddhists are right. Desire is the root of all pain. I’ve decided to begin publishing excerpts from Bones the first of each month on the CODOH Website and forget about running around after a publisher. I’ve run too far after those people for too long. They’ve worn me out. I’ll put my stuff on the Web and let the manuscript itself find a publisher. One with a lot of money or an agent with a little imagination who will find a publisher with a lot of money.

The first excerpt from Bones I will post on the Website is titled “The Ruling Discourse” and is 15 manuscript pages. If you’d like to read it but do not have a computer or are not Online, send a couple bucks to cover postage etc. and I’ll mail it to you. You don’t have to like it. It’s not for everyone.

  • Bradley R. Smith

    Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989, Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.
