The Literary Review has reviewed my most recent book, As an Alien in a Land of Promise.
The stark descriptions, along with characters who seem to tell their own stories, posed a problem for this reader. It confronted me, mostly on my preconceptions of myself. I know the problem of homelessness in America. I might even be considered part of the solution, what with my intermittent donations. Kalet and Rubel break the reader down, with hopes that a reconstruction will take place, for the betterment of all.
