Away We Go

The first Harold Pinter play I ever read was The Dumbwaiter. The plot of this play is actually very simple: two gangsters, Gus and Ben, stake out a hit that turns out to be Gus himself. Underneath their chatty dialogue lies a political struggle that pushes and pulls all the way to the mortality line.

Here, I'll wander from literature to politics and cover issues both local and pervasive. I'll post articles I've written for a local paper and some [veryshort] creative pieces, maybe even some free responses to what I'm reading. For the most part, it'll probably be a lot of thoughts on my daily life.

Hopefully, though, like Gus and Ben's argument about lighting either the gas or the kettle, my simple ideas will reveal something more (to you and to me). Thanks for your interest.
