Born in '57. Started out reading the classics when I was
encouraged to do so by my Mom, such as Charles Dickens,
Robert Lewis Stevenson, Jules Verne, the Brontes, at al. By
the time I was in high school I was heavily into the Beats.
In College I got heavily into sci-fi with an emphasis on
Philip K. Dick and J.G. Ballard. In law school I started
reading the postmodernist types such as Thomas Pynchon, Don
DeLillo, etc. After academics I got into Jim Thompson when
the first Black Lizards came out. Got into hard-boiled and
noir last year when on a whim I bought the Library of
America's two volume Crime Novels set and American Tabloid.
And here I am.
In the late eighties early nineties I did a sort of
underground samizdat zine devoted to the Cleveland Indians
only tangentially. It was called Tribe Tract &
Testimonial and it's been recently revived at http://homestead.deja.com/user.tribejr/ttt.html
Someday it may have more content.
