My latest release, THE ONE LEGGED MONGOOSE (September 2021), is a vibrant portrayal of the 1950s and of a young Jewish immigrant family.

It is the story of a precocious boy whose life is informed by terrible physical abuse at home.

There is no excuse when you lose. It doesn't matter to anyone if you had polio and were stuck in bed for six weeks.

COVID is a far different kind of crisis than wealth disparity. It is immediate and deadly.

My non-scientific guess for why many people function as though they were left or right brain is conditioning.

How Remembering the Polio Epidemic Can Help Us Fight COVID by @MarcStrausBooks https://t.co/rBhq1MQ03o

As an oncologist, I learned when you continue using a cancer drug, cancer cells mutate. The cancer cells fight to survive.

This is true of the Covid virus, too.

Artists and Writers as Activists: Remembering the McCarthy Hearings by @MarcStrausBooks https://t.co/ypsAeTOzfY

I was just a pre-teen in the early 1950s, but I was old enough to remember quite vividly the McCarthy hearings on TV.
