Featured Work
Red Danube
A charismatic art dealer lets his guard down, revisits a painful past, and uncovers a haunting betrayal perpetrated by the least likely antagonist during his youth in a Nazi concentration camp.
Based on actual events, Red Danube, complete at 83,000 words, is told over a lifetime where the past and present coexist in a swirl of allegories that reflect issues we still face today. Influenced equally by the works of Isaac Bashevis Singer, Elie Wiesel, Bela Tarr, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino, I take an individualized approach to exploring themes of war, the Holocaust, and the effects of the Diaspora on all generations involved.
