I’m a writing and literature professor at The New School in New York, author of A Life of One’s Own, A Guide to Better Living through the Work and Wisdom of Virginia Woolf (Penguin, 2007).  

I post a few weekly blogs:

The LITERATURE AND LIFE Blog at Barnes & Noble (click here).

I paint portraits, live in NYC, and am in training as a clinical psychologist.  I’d love to hear from you at irs2000@nyu.edu
