A Small Suffering Meadow on the Sheltered Side of the Wind 

Some (not all) older publications include: 
  • An essay in favor of Barry Bonds in the second print installment of Barrelhouse 
  • An essay about being half-Jewish in an anthology called Half/Life: Jew-ish Tales from Interfaith Homes edited by Laurel Snyder that came out this April from Soft Skull Press.
  • A story in See You Next Tuesday #1 about Mt. Rainier suddenly disappearing.
  • A story in Pindeldyboz #5 about a Michael Jackson impersonator
  • A story in Boom #1 about sucking armpits
  • A story in Duck & Herring Co. #1 about geriatric delusions and curveballs. 
  • A book recommendation for Coudal Partners' 2006 "Field-Tested Books" (and 2008) summer reading thing
  • The first and second of two installments of thoughts about the Philadelphia 76ers' 2003-4 season
  • In 1997/8/9, I wrote a book called Incidents of Egotourism in the Temporary World that was online for a while before it was published in May 2004 by Better Non Sequitur

    In August 1999, I started a site called Eyeshot -- a long-time contributor included a kind note about it in this 2006 top-ten list.
