I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
I keep waiting to read the headline "Fruit flies like a banana" but have not seen it yet. (Drives linguists mad, but it is a hoary joke.)
