Leaving home, getting lost, returning changed. My City of Yesterday reimagines a traditional narrative for modern times...echoes of Odysseus in the American suburbs. Its flawed hero is an ordinary, middle-aged man sinking "in chaos, in failure, in poetry," only to re-surface later, weakened but wiser. I read the signs the way the ancients read the constellations, always leading away from here.
