Lawrence Jay Switzer, designer of the illustrated Walt Whitman Series and The New Knickerbocker Quarterly, has been publishing his own works of fiction since 2019. In the tradition of The Canterbury Tales, Sayville Tales is comprised of tales and trifles told by modern-day passengers (including two ghosts and the Devil) while sharing a railroad journey. His latest novel, Beacon City Confidential, is a fun-house view of urban mythology run amok in a fictional American city. Both books have been met with critical acclaim.
