I'm a writer whose work spans the spectrum from journalism to business writing to literary criticism and creative nonfiction. I'm currently working on a book project that I call Found Wanting: A Memoir of Misreading. It's part memoir, part literary criticism, part extended reflection on the relationship between literature, life, and the imagination.
