I write narrative nonfiction about the intersection of ordinary people and the major crises of our time.
Background
Information
As the grandchild of immigrants, I have always been fascinated by the uprootedness and upheavals of contemporary culture. As a student of history and literature, I have often been struck by the intersections between the two. I try to bring all of these interests to bear in the narrative nonfiction books I write -- carefully researched works of history that (I hope) have the emotional heft of novels.
