I read and collect widely but one could say 'modern literary fiction' would be what I read most. I emphasize African American, Latin American, and South Asian lit. I also dabble in Holocaust studies. I enjoy memoirs, particularly what I describe as the 'literary female memoir'.

    Just wanted to let you know that my new novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available. I thought you might like it since it’s been compared to Daniel Woodrell, whom I noticed was on your shelf. Here’s a link to the Shelfari page in case you’re interested:

    Thanks,

    I'm glad there are some us still out in the wide-world that remember & cherish the Evergreen Review. It was such an amazing treasure for its time.

    Have you ever read Black-eyed Susans or Midnight birds? I did way back in the '80s & they continue to haunt my days.

    I, too, buy faster than i can read. Much to my wife's frown. There's never enough bookshelf space!

    Hi, Denton -

    I'm a fellow Brooklynite, and it seems you and I have some of the same books on our shelves. I'm new to Shelfari, so I'm still building my shelf.

    Happy reading!
