Year in Review
In 2018 I began work on new projects for 2019 and beyond, one of which has just been announced — Judgment Day at Park Avenue Armory. Also this year, I wrote on René Girard for Los Angeles Review of Books and on Max Ritvo for Slate. I answered a question for The Creative Independent on the challenges of writing, and spoke to WNYC about disability representation in Hollywood. I also wrote a number of Medium posts on various subjects as the spirit moved me. Looking ahead: Dying City will be revived at Second Stage in spring 2019, and Judgment Day will premiere at the end of the year.
