Incorporating essays, short stories, film and book analyses, Consorting with the Shadow examines the psychological bond between women and the archetypal creatures of imagination, the vampires, shape-shifters, and other monsters we fear, love, and wish to emulate.

Scribe Publications

The quintessential Irish cookbook: food and drink from James Joyce's Dublin. A joyous book celebrating the best of Irish cooking. An equally good read.

Gazelle: Nine Monologues

Five of my narrating voices are male, middle aged to elderly. Their accents vary—an East Coast American professor in “Driving,” “Oxbridge” is British with a tinge of Irish in “Hippo Club,” “Mose Konen,” and “The Man in the Apple-Green Tie.” And for the narrator of “Ostraneni,” the reader may imagine the dialect of a member of the elite of ancient fifth century BC Athens. Four of these monologues are in a female voice: the elderly woman’s aggressive/defensive voice of “Gazelle” came to me in a dream shortly after I had moved to New York City to live in the early 1980s, the naive voice of a Midwestern girl recounts a childhood trauma in “Snakedoctors,” a subdued young woman tells of her relationship to her parents in “At the Lake House,” and Bronze Age Greek accents of Ismene—the lonely, hysteric, forgotten princess of Thebes and sister to Antigone—in the eponymous tragedy by Sophocles, again, invite imagination. That is how I hear them.

The Child and the Machine: How Computers Put Our Children's Education at Risk

How Computers Put Our Children's Education at Risk 
In Los Angeles, the Kittridge Street Elementary School eliminated its music program to hire a technology coordinator. A Virginia school turned its art room into a computer laboratory. In the United States, a record $6.5 billion was spent on educational technology for the 1998-99 school year, while funding for music, arts, and other specialty areas continues to shrink. Stubbornly, nearly every measure of our children's educational performance refuses to rise. Drawing from hundreds of school visits, studies, and expert interviews, The Child and the Machine paints a compelling picture of how our uncritical rush to use computers in schools has led to one of the most expensive and least helpful revolutions in the history of American education.
