I'm looking forward to see what this format can create. My novels are written for adults, with complex, if often comic, themes explored. Nevertheless, I think a class of seniors or AP students interested in literary fiction, philosophy, music, and/or politics, might easily grasp them. Discussions are always more interesting when groups have read all or relevant parts of the material, but I am happy to talk about writing in general, and its function in the modern world.

My published books and their themes are as follows. Two more should be appearning soon.

Novels:
The Good Doctor Guillotin -- capital punishment, first use of the guillotine during the French Revolution
The Annotated Nose -- creating media myths; battling the "contemporary plague"
Skulk -- the fate of political activists in a world dead set against them
The Lamentations of Julius Marantz -- contemporary religious hysteria; conspiracies; learning to be a physicist
Golem Song -- the pathology of thinking one is chosen
The Education of Arnold Hitler -- racism; Vietnam war; performance art; neo-Nazism
Insect Dreams, the Half Life of Gregor Samsa -- overview of crucial events in America 1930-45; creation of the atomic bomb

Memoir:
Rehearsing With Gods: Photographs and Essays on the Bread & Puppet Theater (with Ron Simon, photographer)

I am currently working on a novel about the dead Tchaikovsky.
