This is a collection of material I wrote over the past 35 years, beginning in 1985. It is largely, but not exclusively, about my experience as a white, middle class, heterosexual man. Since moving to Germany in 2003, I have also written about the experience of being an immigrant and using a second language.
Thanks to Harry Brod, who encouraged me to make this material accessible, Gerald Jackson, who has repeatedly told me that I have to share what I have written, and Michael Kaufman, who gave me suggestions about putting it on a web site. And thanks to the people who co-authored some of the material, and to the many people who inspired me to write this material in the first place, and who gave me feedback.
