Books
Featured work
A Kirkus Review Best Indie Book of 2019
This All-at-Onceness
A vivid, personal journey through the political and cultural movements that have shaped every generation from the Baby Boomers to the Parkland kids — linked essays about idealism, engineering, and how energy travels through time.
“This All-at-Onceness is an accumulating achievement, a thought-provoking meditation on the way time changes each of us, and technology changes all of us.” — Jane Brox, author of Silence
A novel
Burning and Dodging
On the cusp of sixty, would-be artist Tina Gabler takes a position with a frail, former prime-time news anchor writing about the decline of objectivity in photojournalism — and finds herself reexamining the stories we construct about others, and ourselves.
“A vivid and moving novel by an award-winning writer working with deep reserves of insight, heart, and mind.” — James Glickman, author of Crossing Point
