Representaion During Books Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe
The most unexpected and revealing book of our time. A rallying cry for the elusive spirit of these time. A cry for those who want to change the world! Karl Wiggins has a powerful and potent knack for expression which has completely escaped restraint and self-control. Too much writing nowadays is watered-down garbage. The world is looking for something new, and in this book, Wiggins has created many ‘worth-pondering-over’ ideas! We are experiencing the same intensity of energy in diminished and more concise time periods, which is why more and more Wrong Planet tribes are gathering Karl Wiggins informed me, when I agreed to write the forward for this book, that his goal was for those he calls Carefree Scamps to finish the book slightly punch-drunk. And I admit that with me he’s managed it remarkably. If you don’t believe that a limited number of astute, dedicated human beings can change the world, or simply just call attention to its imperfections and vulnerabilities, this book is going to change your mind. But before you get there, in the first third of the book Karl introduces us to a number of famous eccentrics who just didn’t (or don’t) ‘fit in’ He discusses the erratic, the bizarre and the downright kooky. People such as David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe, Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Arthur Rimbaud, François Villon (the Medieval Beatnik), Bessie Stringfield, Sixteen-String Jack Rann, Anne Bonny & Mary Read (the Lesbian Pirates), Frida Kahlo, the Beat Generation poets and a whole host of dropouts, misfits, pranksters, bohemians, court jesters, comedians, crackpots and Gypsies. The reader will love reading about these swashbuckling daredevils, headcases and artists who changed their world, and even more so when Wiggins goes on to blend some of them with those from his own tribe. He identifies Wrong Planet people clearly, drops hints on how we can spot them, and finally instructs us in how to discover our own ‘tribe’ if we haven’t already found them This book will shake your perceptions ….. and it’s lovely!Point Out Of Books Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe

Philosophical FunLoved this book. Its another fun romp with Karl Wiggins. In amidst the entertainment, there is a lot of serious thinking going on here about how people find themselves, and how they end up with their people, or tribe. Wiggins has considered groups of people by their personality types (or socio-economic types) and has put them into different camps. Wiggins belongs to the Carefree Scamps camp, which I can well believe. He includes vignettes about famous people you will recognize,I can relate to Wrong Planet: searching for your Tribe. The first chapter made me realize my condition has a name! I certainly fit in with the Carefree Scamps. I loved being taken back in history, learning things I never knew about the 70s rock n roll music industry, and what an amazing woman Bessie Stringfield was. Every chapter is an insightful peek into a famous persons life and death - and their Tribe! The book is written in typical Karl Wiggins style; humor with heart. I highly recommend! I
Karl Wiggins Author, humourist, raconteur and (unfortunately) master of dysphemismI'm an author with seven books on Amazon Kindle, and I'll state right from the start that I have a particular aversion to fellow authors who befriend you and then immediately message you saying, "You might like my book ..... check it out." I don't do that. If people wish to know more about my books the informationI can relate to Wrong Planet: searching for your Tribe. The first chapter made me realize my condition has a name!
