About Reentry Shock

Welcome to Reentry Shock, where I’ve shared selected essays, magazine features, scholarly vignettes, poetry and fiction, all bound by a concern with the links between memory and community. Here you’ll read about history, cinema, sports, great American cities (especially my hometown, Las Vegas), the rolling adventure of Russian culture, the circus of global media and the naive hope that, no matter how far we stray into the instrumental and inhumane, our creativity will always help us return home.
