For sure, Adam is weird-although "weird" is all relative. Weird is problematic, but tolerable. What's forbidden though is talking to Kafkaists, who are nothing but dangerous worms guilty of "moral turpitude"-cockroaches that the Author most probably forgot to erase. So helping Kafkaists wasn't the brightest thing to do. Unfortunately, he didn't have a choice. For one, June was a Kafkaist-cockroaches can't possibly have such dazzling blue eyes. Second,...

I didn't vote for Donald Trump in 2016, but I was willing to offer the benefit of the doubt, hoping that once sworn in he'd magically start acting with a dignity befitting the office. That anticipation, more like delusion, had totally dissipated by 2019 when I started writing Trump-related satires as a form of personal therapy, following an age-old tradition that pompous people in power invite ridicule. Here was a man all about himself -- a fragile,...

HERESIES AND SEDITIONS can best be described as intelligent fun. The Latin word satura means both satire and a mixed dish or medley. My book is a salmagundi of insolent satires, wacky improvisations, decarboxylated yarns, imaginary interviews, fugitive visions, crystalline lyrics, mystical runes, rhymes and misdemeanors.... It generally avoids the standard narcotizing narrative of popular fiction and should appeal to readers with a sense of humor...
