JUVENILIA – TEEN BOOKS & TRAVEL WRITING
• Umbrae Papilionis (Shadows of Butterflies) (1988)
• Z. (for Zarathustra) (1989)
• Shorts (1990)
• Travel Writing (2003)
Juvenilia is by definition a retrospective of someone’s early work, to discern not so much quality as direction. This writing is not meant to impress, but it is hoped that teens today might empathize with some of the rebellious anger and strident challenging of authority.
Travel Writing is a 100-page collection of is non-fiction and unique. There are first-hand narratives of hitchhiking alone through East Africa, of voyages with untested crews across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, of storms, knife and shark attacks, robberies and wrecks. There are numerous maps and hundreds of illustrations, many of them penned during the author’s teen years. The ragged layout is intentional, as each of these books was hand-made, often through conniving school administrators for the use of equipment after hours.
