Playing the Hand We Are Dealt
The Counterpoint of Fate and Freewill in Literature and LifeThe relationship between literature and life can be construed as a counterpoint of fate and freewill. Rather than equating fate to the ‘hand we are dealt’ which is reducible to the social or familial environments into which we are born, this book explores the idea of fate through the books that shape our lives and under whose influence we write.

Self-Alteration
How People Change Themselves Across CulturesMany of us feel a pressing desire to be different--to be other than who we are. The essays in Self-Alteration come at the subject of the self and its becoming through case studies of modes of transformation of the self. They do this with social processes and projects that reveal how the self acquires a non-trivial new meaning in and through its very process of alteration.

Friendship
"A compelling exploration of friendship, rich with insights and astute anthropological and philosophical reflections. Friendship offers a highly original treatment of an important topic in clear and incisive terms. I know of no other work that examines the many diverse aspects of friendship in people's lives in such rich and informed ways." (Robert Desjarlais, Sarah Lawrence College)

Critique of Identity Thinking
Michael Jackson’s response to our beleaguered age is to ask what forms of speech and action are called for in ‘dark times’.
