Sobre mimMy second novel, Small Kingdoms, will be published in January, 2010. Recently, it has won a starred review from Booklist and a warm endorsement from the 2009 Booker Prizewinner, Hilary Mantel. It's set in Kuwait between the two Gulf wars (I lived there for 5 years during this same time span) and traces the stories of five strangers—rich and poor, native and foreigner, Muslim, Christian, and non-believer—brought together by their joint discovery that a teenaged Indian housemaid is being brutally abused by her employer. I describe it as n Upstairs/Downstairs of the Arab world. It tells the stories of ordinary people facing a grievous decision in the face of yet another Middle Eastern war.
While I lived in Kuwait, I studied the language, art and culture of the Islamic world, and traveled widely around the Middle East, India and north Africa. I'm a former freelance journalist, and I wrote a previous novel, Pleasure of Believing, which you can see at Amazon. I live in the San Francisco Bay area, and I'm a daily hiker in the beautiful coastal mountains around my home.
Sobre a minha bibliotecaI love literary fiction, biographies, poetry, and popular science. One of these days I'll upload my library. I keep thinking, today, today!

As a globed fruit
Dumb
As old medallions to the thumb
Silent as the sleeve-worn stone
Of casement ledges where the moss has grown -
A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds
A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs
Leaving, as the moon releases
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,
Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves,
Memory by memory the mind -
A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs
A poem should be equal to:
Not true
For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf
For love
The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea -
A poem should not mean
But be"
— Archibald MacLeish
