I have completed three novels and am working on a fourth. The dominant theme in my writing is the relationship between the isolated individual of a modern atomized society and the universal cult of celebrity. My characters are thrust into circumstances in which inadequacy and envy militate against the power of fame and where the privileges of success lead into the dark recesses of transgression, hubris and guilt. This can take the form of a celebrity assassin, an understudy or an historian |
