As A Writer |
|
Once in a 1A class, in the middle of the first lecture of the term, after I had explained all the essays students would be writing, a young man in the back of the class raised his hand and demanded to know what I had written. I might know about writing, but could I do it? Well, fair enough. Here are some bits and pieces you might enjoy reading: Recent articles from my local food scolumn in The Daily Triplicate: The Localvore: Local Eating Can Beat All
First Chapter of Alaska Men, the novel I wrote for my Master’s Thesis. A chapter of The Last Snake in Africa, the novel I’ve been working on lately. “Learning to Fly: The Weaver Bird,” a piece I sold to BBC’s radio program, Short Story. It aired all over the world in 1997. “Beasts in the Jungle,” an article which was accepted in a writing anthology called Adventures in Green Travel. It has yet to see print. “As Far as I Know,” a humorous essay about teaching. You could probably call it a “process essay” if you had to stick a label on it. “The Shoes that Carried Me,” an example of a narrative essay. |
