Four Quarters Magazine: The Great Recession

In 2012, I began work on a manuscript I wanted to call The Great Recession. The motivating idea was similar to American Tour; to devise a series of miniaturized dramatic monologues, which would lay bare what the state of the American psyche was circa 2012 and out, in the midst of all kinds of recessional down-turns. Some of the characters I was channeling were known to me, some I invented. This 2013 page, from India's Four Quarters Magazine, is as good a representation as any of how the manuscript looked. Even if it got stalled roughly halfway through, and hasn't found its way home quite yet.
