The Meaning of Fiction

The tradition of the fairy tale is arguably the tradition of transformation (princes-to-frogs and back, rags-to-riches, the curse recast as blessing). Here is the basis of a fairy tale, not from the annals of European fantasy, but from the grind of its intellectual quern: Once upon a time, in the ma...

Half Way World

Since in a dream I’ve foreseen everything, I disagree – since in my sleep I have or had A point of view. In the world or in the past, I know That I have climbed your tower and fallen to the fields Or streets a hundred times, or drowning seen electric serpents Writhing on the surface of a lake. I hal...

Marisa

I've written and just published one, called Marisa . It is ostensibly about first love, but as a fairly insistent subtext it explores the changing relationship between men and women over the last thirty years or so with the advances in feminist critique. It's available on Amazon, and you can find ou...
