About Me

I'm an intrepid journalist, litterateur, connoisseur of pornographic theology, a guy who likes scotch and Ginger from Gilligan's Island, debauchery, meaningless trysts, meaningful trysts, yoga, transcendence, secularism, kama sutra, eugenics, playing kick-the-can, and baseball.On the professional side, just finished my first book on the history of forced sterilization in the United States, published by Knopf.

My Interests

Any standup philosophers, workers of the world, clairvoyant schizophrenics, midget stalkers, pregnant Episcopalian priests, eugenicists (serious ones), Salma Hayek, anyone who drinks single-malt scotch.However, any of these must also want to laugh, go on adventurous dates in Manhattan, engage in endless witty banter, see interesting films, talk about great books, go to Mets games, listen to concerts on weekday nights in Central Park with a blanket and bottle of wine, tease playfully, take a cab home drunk at 4 am, sleep till noon on Sundays, and other such activities...
