My book, The Torah
Sutras, will be published by Albion-Andalus Press. Publication date TBA.
This work is the type of book I
have long wanted to publish. The
book is mixed genre: non-fiction, fiction, poetry, and religious philosophy. This work does some heavy lifting, shifting the emphasis and definition of certain time honored Jewish concepts and pouring them into a
classical, Chinese, religious mode.
The Torah Sutras
is the direction I want my future religious writing to take; unlike my first
two non-fiction books on religious topics, I will now write religious works that are more activist than
descriptive. The fact that this book emerged from a such descriptive book, which failed to find its axis (and was to be my third book) supports my hunch that the death of the book was a productive "failure" which I was fortunate to experience.
I want to breathe life into “old” modes of
religious thought. This book is
the start of new directions in my writing – a nexus where old and new meet to combine and create novel forms.
