Essays on Mr. Beller's Neighborhood: THE LAST LESSON, ASKING FOR LOVE, and DEATH AND ICE CREAM.
I am an essayist, memoir writer, and Senior Lecturer at the NYU-Tandon SoE. My essays appear in Thicker Than Water, Essays by Adult Siblings of People with Disabilities edited by Don Meyer (Woodbine House, 2009) and in Lost and Found, Stories from New York edited by Thomas Beller ("DEATH AND ICE CREAM", Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood Books, distributed by WW Norton, 2009). I also maintain a blog about my brother Fred, who has intellectual disabilities, and our search for a publisher of our memoir Finding Fred.
