I used to write investigative environmental articles, but now I just write what I feel like writing, do a little poetry, play with digital art, and I'm deep into:

"Glasser presents a harsh and uncompromising view of the Vietnam era military and San Francisco street life during the mid 1960s in a style somewhat reflective of Jack Karouac's classic "On the Road." After the first chapter, the reader becomes the traveller on a series of surreal adventures spanning the socially volatile years between 1965 and 1969. Along the way, we encounter strange and nefarious characters, drugs, and the social turmoil at epicenter of the counterculture movement. The central character's wry, philosophical observations about his adventures/misadventures simply, but eloquently underscore the bizarre ambience of the time."

After the Rain" is a continuation of his last novel "The Other Side to This Life." This episode takes the reader on the eclectic adventures of a resilient survivor whose life's course is determined by the unpredictable winds of fate. More than often, he ends up in precarious and dangerous predicaments. Often, the only options open to him to extricate himself from the situations is by jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Glasser begins this adventure in 1969 Mexico when the Mexican Government was still recovering from the 1968 Mexico City Olympic massacre where the Army troops killed over 200 student protesters, The story continues through the ups and downs in main character's life on a journey into the economic recession in the early 1980s as a homeless drifter attempting to hitchhike across the United States. In "After the Rain" Glasser relentlessly drives the reader through the quintessential post Vietnam American experience reminiscent of the Kerouac "On the Road" style story.

Before George Glasser began writing novels, he established an international reputation as an investigative environmental journalist from authoring uncompromising exposés. During that time, he specialised in industrial pollution and water quality issues. Glasser was noted for taking on issues that the mainstream press, and even some environmental writers and publications were afraid to touch. In 2001, his exposé article "Is Your Bathtub a Toxic Dump?" (Summer 2001) Earth Island Journal won a prestigious Project Censored Award. His investigative work was so thorough and well referenced; it has been cited in some scientific journals. In 2001, the US Centers for Disease Control/National Toxicology Program reviewed and cited two of his articles in the "Sodium Hexafluorosilicate and Fluorosilicic Acid - Review of Toxicological Literature" (2001). In 2000, by request, Glasser also appeared before a Republic of Ireland a joint Dáil and Seanad Health Scrutiny Committee to present testimony. In the late 1990s, the US Senate Subcommittee on Health and Safety hearings on drinking water fluoridation reviewed and citied Glasser's work in their conclusions. Presently retired from environmental writing, Glasser resides in the United Kingdom, concentrates on writing fiction, and is a commercial artist.
