He wrote at least two novels: THE 27th CITY and STRONG MOTION -
The former is wonderful and worth the time; the latter leaves quite a
bit to be desired - It's parts are better than its whole

He was recently cited in some magazine (TIME or NEWSWEEK) as
as a major talent under 30 (along with DWF for what it's worth)
