La velocidad de la oscuridad se har eco entre los m sicos, los interesados en el arte, en la m sica y en la historia y entre aquellos que busquen labrar su propio camino en un mundo lleno de expectaciones y recursos, aparentemente, ilimitados (Sel Kardan, presidente de la Escuela de Arte Colburn, Los ngeles). La claridad y la elegancia de la prosa empleada para narrar el tema del coleccionismo revela una dedicaci n y un conocimiento sobre el tema poco com n (Michael Hall, Doctor y encargado de conservar las colecciones de la familia, Estado de Exbury, Hampshire, Reino Unido). La autobiograf a de Piatigorsky es de inter s para los estudiantes, los investigadores y para aquellos que se est n iniciando en el mundo del coleccionismo, en resumen, para todos aquellos que conozcan las creativas tradiciones de los artistas nativos de Am rica del Norte (Bernadette Driscoll Egelstad, Conservadora de Colecciones de Arte Inuit). La autobiograf a de Piatigorsky demuestra que en la ciencia se puede encontrar arte (Joseph Horwitz, Doctor y Profesor distinguido de oftalmolog a y biof sica del Instituto Ocular Jules Stein, UCLA). La historia, nica, de Piatigorsky tendr una muy variada audiencia: cient ficos profesionales, coleccionistas de arte, m sicos, historiadores, escritores y todos aquellos que hayan luchado por encontrar su propia identidad (Hamid Shams, Productor y Cinemat grafo de BBP Films). Esta autobiograf a no es un simple trabajo de lectura, es un trabajo de conmemoraci n (James Mathews, autor de Last Known Position). Esta narraci n fascinante es un viaje a medio camino entre el arte, la admiraci n y la creatividad, un viaje promovido por su coraci n por el status quo (Barbara Esstman, autora de The Other Anna, Night Ride Home y A More Perfect Union). Joram Piatigorsky es un importante bi logo molecular e investigador ocular, un gran coleccionista de arte inuit y escritor y el hijo del famoso violonchelista Gregor Piatigorsky y Jacqueline de Rothschild. Es el autor del libro Gene Shring and Evolution (Harvard University Press, 2007) y de la novela Jellyfish Have Eyes (IPBooks, NY, 2014). Para saber m s consulte: joramp.com
"Joram Piatigorsky's The Open Door and Other Tales of Love and Yearning are acutely observed stories that often venture into the surreal, the scientific, and the drama of families and their histories. The prose is precise, and the characters surprise with their longing to change their lives, when they struggle to make sense of their histories, and when they find beauty in uncommon places and persons. I found the philosophical musings in these stories fascinating, as well as their implications for our future." - Sergio Troncoso, author of The Last Tortilla and Other Stories, Crossing Borders: Personal Essays, and the novels The Nature of Truth and From This Wicked Patch of Dust "The stories in Joram Piatigorsky's The Open Door are full of imagination, curiosity, and human longing. A lively, engaging read." - Elizabeth Poliner, author, As Close to Us as Breathing "Joram Piatigorsky audaciously weaves the fantastic with the familiar to show what love can do to those who yearn for it. Nothing is impossible in the worlds he creates, while the characters who experience the startling transformations that occur could be ourselves. Surprise and recognition are the hallmarks of these utterly original and delightful stories." - Kate Blackwell, author of You Won't Remember This: Stories "The Open Door is a brilliant and vibrant collection of stories that spans the breadth and diversity of literary fiction, from grave to funny to poignant and all points in-between. It's this range of technique and emotional engagement that pulls the readers through each piece and leaves them anticipating what comes next. In a style reminiscent of Carson McCullers, Piatigorsky presents stories that are vivid with imagery while maintaining a dramatic element balanced by compassion for the characters. These characters truly drive each story to the point that you become one with the fictional dream that the author weaves so flawlessly. Even in being comfortably lost in the dream, you'll no doubt recognize upon reflection that you are in the hands of a master story-teller. If you take home only one short story collection this year, let The Open Door be the one " - James Mathews, Author of Last Known Position; Winner, Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction "A beautifully written collection that covers the many territories between the real and the fantastic but that focuses on lives compressed by restraint and left desiring. A rich mix of art and myth, shape-shifting and wide-awake dreaming." - Barbara Esstman, author of The Other Anna; Night Ride Home; A More Perfect Union "Piatigorsky has sculpted a universe of desire, where a chance sighting can alter the course of a man's life, where even a pinprick of longing blooms into heated obsession. The characters in these stories inhabit a world that looks like ours but feels like a secret, parallel space, one where curiosity and yearning wander and flourish. Inventive, funny, and at times strangely prescient, these stories bring what Robert Bausch called 'the human news, ' tidings from the heart in all its loving potential." -Jennifer Buxton, The Writer's Center, Bethesda, MD "Joram Piatigorsky has created an unforgettable mix of stories and colorful characters, including Inuit sculptures that spring to life, offering both surprising wisdom and comfort. The mix of humor and the universal angst of life's bittersweet passages propels the reader throughout." - Sally Mott Freeman, author of The Jersey Brothers
"Joram Piatigorsky once again delivers on a promise made in his past work, offering both depth and astounding insight into human nature. Where his previous work focused more on love and yearning, Notes Going Underground takes us into much darker alleyways, those that meander through the vast shadowy landscape between life and death. While this may seem frightening, we are never on the journey alone. Rather, Piatigorsky serves as our chaperone, probing characters to their existential core with a blend of first-person narration that searches out not only what is truly at stake for the soul of each character - but for the soul of each story. The writing is elegantly conceived and reminds us that fiction can - and should - take us out of ourselves and put us squarely, directly into harm's way. A remarkable storyteller, Piatigorsky's beautifully blends the often-remote nature of dying with what he calls the 'privilege of life' - with humor, poignancy and even a certain romantic fantasy. Notes Going Underground is one of those books that other writers will secretly wish they wrote themselves." - James Mathews, author of Last Known Position
"A sensitive drama about an aged scientist in an anti-intellectual era." (Kirkus Review, vol. 87, February 2019)"Jellyfish Have Eyes" is the "somewhat autobiographical" story of an eminent scientist whose study of jellyfish eyes earns him condemnation rather than acclaim." (Ellyn Wexler, Montgomery County Gazette, October 2014)"Piatigorsky's debut novel is a suspenseful thriller mixing the biological sciences - and politics. It is a rollicking tale... and deserves a wide audience. " (Kensington Park Friends of the Library, November 2015)"A wonderful book for those who love creativity, science and the great gifts of serendipity." (Barbara Esstman, author, The Other Anna and Night Ride Home)In this original and provocative combination of science and fiction, Joram Piatigorsky brings to life evidence of Dr. Johnson's observation that Truth can be made more accessible when draped in the robes of Fiction. (Warren Poland, MD, Psychoanalyst, author, Melting the Darkness)"Piatigorsky's imaginative account of Dr. Ricardo Sztein's path from discovery to condemnation gives a chilling warning that is sure to stimulate debate on the role of government in dictating the direction of basic research." (Joseph Horwitz, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor, UCLA School of Medicine)

"Creativity is an endless parade of possibilities, it's not a goal, Joram Piatigorsky reflects in this diverse collection of essays. Whether writing about the brain, tennis, a bookstore in Iceland, old friends, marriage, death, snow, movies, or the notion of creativity itself, he joins the parade with enthusiasm and unbounded curiosity."-Bill O'Sullivan, senior managing editor, Washingtonian magazine"Truth and Fantasy hits the mark on so many levels -- whether conveying the wisdom of bees or the meaning of fatherhood or the immense power of silence. With a disarming curiosity and warmth, Piatigorsky's observations always emerge plainly, sometimes starkly, in the distance, leaving the reader with a precise and surprising understanding of what is being seen - and even what is not seen. -James Mathews, author of Last Known Position"In Truth and Fantasy: Essays, Joram Piatigorsky provides widespread insights on numerous topics, always with a nod to imagination...These well-written, concise essays weave together his thoughts on complementary themes from his extraordinary creative life." -Stephen S. Lash, Chairman Emeritus: Christie's"...Piatigorsky is never dogmatic, but rather provides the reader with a passport to consideration of a topic from that individual's personal context. These analyses of life's landscape stay with you long after you put the book down." -Margaret McFall-Ngai, Professor and Director, University of Hawaii at Mānoa, member National Academy of Sciences U.S.A."Through concurrent lifetimes dedicated to athletics, research, collecting Inuit and African art, travel and writing, the scientist facilitates our investigation of a life lived large. Then the writer takes over, proposing ways we can weave the truths we have discovered into the fabrics of our own lives." -John Houston, Inuit art dealer and filmmaker, producer of Atautsikut / Leaving None Behind During his 50-year research career at the National Institutes of Health, Joram Piatigorsky has published some 300 scientific articles and a book, Gene Sharing and Evolution (Harvard University Press, 2007), lectured worldwide, received numerous research awards, including the prestigious Helen Keller Prize for vision research, served on scientific editorial boards, advisory boards and funding panels, and trained a generation of scientists.

"An intriguing...ideas-driven tale of a haunted scientist." -Kirkus Reviews"If you have wondered about the thoughts and goals of a research scientist, read this novel by the distinguished scientist/author, Joram Piatigorsky. Roger's journey through a life of science will give you the insight you seek." -Robert Wurtz, NIH Scientist Emeritus, member National Academy of Sciences U.S.A."Roger's Thought-Particles enters no-man's land on the frontier between imagination and science. There's nobody better suited to probe this terrain than scientist Joram Piatigorsky."-Roger Herst, Author of The Rabbi Gabrielle Series."A thoughtful novel about the nature of thinking, Roger's Thought-Particles is by turns philosophical, speculative, and even madcap. Most of all, it's a pleasure to read from start to finish."-Zach Powers, Author of First Cosmic Velocity"In the current era of contagions, pandemics, and the melding of science and suspicions, the living hallucinations and thought particles in this imaginative and colorful work will infect readers with possibility, optimism and creative alternatives to the concept of reality and inoculate against boredom "-Ronda Beaman, Founder and Executive Director, Dream Makers SLO, Clinical Professor, Orfalea College of Business, and author of My Feats in These Shoes"Reading this novel is a fun, suspenseful adventure." --Douglas Alan Walrath, Author of The Daredancers"Joram Piatigorsky's novel, Roger's Thought Particles, melds storytelling and philosophy in a single work."--Lewis J. Beilman III, author of The Changing Tide"Piatigorsky not only grasps the language of science, he presents a compelling look inside the mind, leaving readers to ponder whether thoughts are our own or transferred from one another by simply being in the same room." --Tara Lynn Marta, Author of Look Back to Yesterday and Dreaming Through the Eyes of God"...we hold on to our hats as Dr. Roger Resin, a respected and award-winning scientist, arrogantly barges his way through the halls of the Vision Science Center on a quest to find a way to associate belief and optimism within the rigorous discipline of the scientific method." - James White, Author of Borders in Paradise and Ransoms Are for AmateursJoram Piatigorsky is a prominent scientist and writer.
