FOMITE

A collection of essays recent and ancient, written as essay-essays, or as sections of discursive novels, many about music and various composers, others semi-biographical, and others about the cultural and political scene in sixties-America to the present. September 11th, and F-35 jets make their inevitable appearance, along with war and peace, Israel and Palestine, American chauvinism and its love affair with capital punishment, Obama, Trump, and even several possibilities of the positive.

About the Author

Marc Estrin was hired to teach theater at Goddard College, but in this departmentless utopia, wound up also teaching music, writing, Finnegans Wake, math, physics, medical self-help and "crazy courses" like Philosophy for Dishwashers, an audio-based lecture/discussion series to sweeten the life of cafeteria volunteers. Such are the fruits of liberal education.
