Reading Life with Douglas Parker
These are short discussions of literature for general audiences. None are comprehensive statements of any individual work, but are intended to offer readers a toe-hold from which they may start to climb. Most are drawn from my work as an adjunct professor at Baruch College of CUNY, and at the New York Institute of Technology, although all opinions expressed are my own.
