I have been honored to know Nathan for several years now, and I can say without equivocation that he is one of the most talented, unique, and inspiring artists, local or otherwise, that I know of. From Thrash Blues to his novels, his plays, he is a one man Savior Machine for an exhausted and pissed off America.

For me, the bulk of American Letters leaves me cold, bored and uninspired because he it cluttered with authors content to be clever, folks with a lot to say that actually says nothing at all, illuminates nothing.

Nathan is not one of these, choosing instead to make meaning and sense out of the senseless instead of just recording it. Not merely an author, or a playwright, or a musician, Nathan is an auteur working outside of film but inside the film that is our existential crisis, squeezing the stuff of life itself into every article, every note, every movement as to make sense of it all. Nathan makes me feel lazy. Nathan is one who might be possessed by the most most taboo of notions in our Post Modern climate: Genius.

Go.
