edit data

I am a writing and literature professor at The New School in NYC, and in training as a clinical psychologist. I wrote a book on the practical, personable wisdom of Virginia Woolf, called A Life of One's Own: A Guide to Better Living through the Work and Wisdom of Virginia Woolf (Penguin, 2007). I paint portraits, love New York, live in Hamilton Heights, and run by the Hudson river.

I do a blog for Barnes & Noble, here
