The core of Clio’s journey, both inner and outer, is based on experiences of my own.\u00a0 As a young Jewish woman from Pittsburgh just out of Brown University, I came to New York in the \u201980s and wrote about rap, the music as a springboard for understanding creative and cultural experience.In that culturally vital fifteen years, I wrote about politically conscious rappers, breakdancers, world musicians and international celebrities.\u00a0 After being employed as an associate editor at Paper magazine and Us Magazine, I moved into freelance journalism, writing regularly about culture for Vogue, Elle, Spin, Harper\u2019s Bazaar, Spy, the European, and many others. \u00a0My profiles of musicians include: Wynton Marsalis, Whitney Houston, Sinead O’Connor, Johnny Rotten, Nile Rodgers, Chaka Khan, Ziggy Marley, Professor Griff and others. \u00a0I have profiled writers Marguerite Duras and Patricia Highsmith, and filmmaker Roman Polanski. I wrote\u00a0Elvis for Beginners<\/i>\u00a0for Writers and Readers. \u00a0My roundtable of female rappers was anthologized in Discourses: Conversations in Postmodern Art and Culture.<\/em><\/div>\n

\nI moved with my husband to France, first Paris, years later to the countryside around Perpignan, where I continued journalistic work, writing for Paris Passion and The European, and raised two daughters.\u00a0 In the \u201990s, and in many return trips every year, I witnessed the transformations of the Spanish\/Catalan self, from post-Franco explosion to a development of consciousness of a Jewish medieval center in Girona.\u00a0 Girona was a place of poets, Kabbalists and spiritual thinkers.\u00a0 It is from here that the idea for my novel was born.<\/div>\n

\n

The novel is a facet of my creative work.\u00a0\u00a0 There are poems in Clio\u2019s Mobile Home; I am also serious about writing poetry.\u00a0 I work on short shorts, and short stories.\u00a0 They are all modes of thinking about identity, ecstasy, aesthetics and spirituality in contemporary life. \u00a0I write a blog, fictionally written in my protagonist Clio\u2019s voice, called Full Dance Card. http:\/\/fulldancecard.blogspot.com\/<\/p>\n
