Selected Prose
Circa 1995, working on a early draft of The Courier, a feature screenplay that ultimately landed me a job as an in-house writer at Inklein Entertainment, NYC.
Here are three short works spanning a range of topics, formats, and styles, and which are emblematic of my voice and approach. You'll note I haven't had much time for creative writing since starting medical school, though I hope to find the time to write qua writing in the near future. In the meantime, enjoy!

Essay, 2012
