Why You Must: A San Francisco Saga

Set in the post-hippie era of the Dressed-for-Success 1980s, Why You Must: A San Francisco Saga offers a deftly interwoven series of intimate narratives addressing the eternal puzzle of why smart, talented, educated people so often fall short of achieving their fondest ambitions of artistic glory. Writers, actors, street performers, and stand-up comedians appear in this novel just as they were at the dawn of the Digital Revolution: being social without media and before anyone understood the coming cumulative impact of personal cell phones, desktop publishing, and the World Wide Web.
