Fiction. IN ADVANCE OF THE BROKEN JUSTY is a grievance against everything inimical to nuance and subtlety and delicacy and charm. It's a fervent attempt to reclaim a quality of attention that has been threatened to near extinction by rampant techno-narcissism. Attention, as defined by William James, implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and is a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state which in French is called distraction, and Zerstreutheit in German. Zerstreuitheit, according to Olson, is a supervisor's sour gaze. It's mandatory overtime. It's having to work for a living. It's the buzz of an alarm clock dissipating a pleasant dream. It's a playground bully. It's a motorcycle gang at a rock concert. It's a cop spraying capsaicin in an elderly woman's face. It's a loud party next door when you're in bed and have to get up early to go to a job you hate. It's endless war. It's the nagging ever- present worry about climate change and corporate predation and the death of value. It's cancer. It's chemotherapy. It's Syria and Gaza and Israel and wrecked Iraq. It's smartphones, the erosion of the commons, and the obliviousness of one's fellow citizens. It's rudeness and insanity and fascism and a boot in the face. It's a neighbor's power saw ripping a quiet afternoon in half.

Unfinished World is a novel of cosmic gestation. It focuses on the interface between the personal and the universal, the idea that we are the universe creating itself, suggesting that our individual awareness is part of a larger, universal consciousness, that our thoughts and experiences contribute to the ongoing process of the universe understanding itself, a deep sense of interconnectedness that carries you everywhere like a feeling. It is also keenly alert to the ongoing shifts in the human paradigm and the volatility and precariousness of our current dilemma. Much of the background for these reflections occurs in a trip to Kauai in post-pandemic 2023, a place of uncanny and beauty and serenity. It includes such universals as Mahler's "Adagietto," Willie Dixon's "Wang Dang Doodle," the Dirac equation, and a toddler kicking the back of one's seat on a long flight over the Pacific while trying to read Mad Love by surrealist poet Andr Breton.
