I'm going to be reading from The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul<\/a><\/i> on Tuesday, March 7, at 7 PM at the Booksmith<\/a> on Haight Street.<\/p>\n I recently got a hard copy of the library volume Contemporary Authors<\/i>, Vol. 228, (Thompson Gale, Farmington Hills, MI, 2005), which has my autobiographical essay with pictures (pp. 329-354). I have the right to further publish the piece so, what the hey, here it is, my “Autobiography (2004)”<\/a> in PDF form, weighing in at 20 Meg as it includes a number of photos of me (that's me aged 13, above, playing with a toy we called “Diablo”). I worked on this essay fairly hard, trying to figure out what I've been doing for, lo, these 60 years. Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I'm going to be reading from The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul on Tuesday, March 7, at 7 PM at the Booksmith on Haight Street.
