Your Notes

I am overeducated, sleep-deprived, and highly diversified.

My Self-Summary

Brooklyn by way of Connecticut.

A performance artist trained as an intellectual historian, I read more than is probably healthy and write less than I should.

But I personally coined a neologism that now has 3,980 unique hits on Google. That has to count for something.

I am also a respected authority on circus fires of the 1940s.

What I’m doing with my life

Writing plays, short stories, and, if I can sit down long enough, novels. Running a downtown experimental theater company.

Teaching classrooms of unsuspecting college freshmen is also involved.

I’m really good at

making soup. procrastination. drinking hot coffee quickly. imitating David Lynch. a bad Russian accent.

The first things people usually notice about me

is that I look worried. Even though I'm probably not.
(Probably.)

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Respectively: To the Lighthouse, The Conversation, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and extra sharp Vermont cheddar cheese.

At least for today.

Though if there were a TV category, I can assure you the answer would be the first season of Twin Peaks.

The six things I could never do without

1. my books
2. coffee
3. my house
4. my laptop
5. cheese
6. sleep

I spend a lot of time thinking about

what I would name the dog I keep talking myself out of adopting. what david foster wallace would do in my situation. how chekhov managed to be so happy all the time.

On a typical Friday night I am

drinking a beer. Somewhere.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am probably more afraid of you than you are of me.

You should message me if

you want to see some really weird crazy theater that is far cheaper than Broadway tickets (though often slightly more expensive than a movie).

you need someone to read you magical-realist stories until you fall asleep.
