"New" again.

This novel has been re-issued by Simon & Schuster as an e-book.

Also available as paperback.

Somewhat controversial, Too Easy got many very admiring reviews,

for example, Kinky Friedman (a well-known novelist)

said it's "so well-written it's frightening."

Too Easy was translated into German, French, and Dutch. Best described in a cluster of words: suspense, romantic, erotic, intense, adultery, criminal.

(Note: this is the US cover. Simon & Schuster put a couple on the cover, so the Europeans did the same. Note, it's not a story about a couple, it's about three people:

Robert Saunders, Anne Saunders, Kathy Becker.)

"A witty and entertaining look at our dark sides."--Kirkus

Too Easy had many passionate covers--see Gallery of Covers.

NEWS FLASH: ***

       American Dreams

Perhaps American literature's

most successful experimental novel.

the literary, the highly original,

A D might be for you.

romance, sex, adultery, crime, religion,

sickness, death and even Texas." --Publishers Weekly

And for dessert

A WITTY SATIRICAL POEM

I casually claim that Theoryland is the best long poem in American literature.

  In truth, there is not much competition in this category.

Theoryland is a mini-epic in five cantos satirizing the faddish thinking,

 crazed competition, and reckless sophistry-making found in our universities.

 It's fun. You can actually read it a second time and have more fun than the first time.

 Collectors of literary exotica might want to order this little book (Amazon).

That would be appreciated. But you needn't do so to read the poem.

Theoryland is readily available on the Internet.

For example, it's the 5th item on this site 

 (and features a recording of the poet reading Cantos One and Two).

In the rooms the critics come and sneer:

my intertext is all veneer.
I may have sinned, my closure fated,
Who knew this jargon was two months dated?

Memo to colleagues: "I'm back!"

Saving K-12 is published: here.

Note that if you look at my education books on Amazon,

you can sample a few pages, specifically the TABLE OF CONTENTS.

You'll know immediately if you want to read these books.

& & &

My first collection of essays was titled THE EDUCATION ENIGMA.

The title refers to the big mystery of why

our schools had so drastically deteriorated.

Still a good read.

This book, published in 2009, is shorter and cheaper than Saving K-12.

NB: every article contains a link but many of them are now obsolete. 

135 beautifully written pages tell you what you want to know.

Here's the key sentence, in the AFTERWORD:

"Education lost its way 100 years ago and remains lost.

It wasn't logical, and it wasn't inevitable."

You can help fix it.
