My Brilliant Thespian Career

Homo Vitruvius and American Samizdat serve as homes for my weekly creative writing and intellectual exploration. HV persists as my original and primary Substack in these pursuits; AS arose in resistance to Trumpism and is dedicated to its defeat. From memoir and poetry to fiction and drama, mostly in HV, to history and political philosophy, predominantly in AS, you will find it here, integrated across the two stacks through a creative and intellectual sensibility I hope you will find invigorating. The stacks may be subscribed jointly or singly in Manage Subscription.

Your support for my writing on these two stacks lifts me up. Your readership and your likes, your comments, shares, and recommendations, and your free and paid subscriptions enable me in the creative project of my writing life and in my mission to offer a renascent light against the darkness: art, information, culture, and ideas for a free, tolerant, and democratic people. Thank you for your interest and support.
