À propos de l?auteur

Jack Random has lived at once an ordinary and extraordinary life. His roots firmly planted in the fertile central valley of California, he has marched the streets in protest, haunted jazz town bars, read poetry in cafes and town squares, strutted his hour upon the stage, crisscrossed the country by air, rail, highway and thumb, mourned at Wounded Knee, gazed into the eyes of the crow at Grand Canyon, and paid tribute at the grave of Geronimo. He has labored in the fields of plenty, toiled on the assembly line, pursued higher education and attempted to enlighten children in the public schools. He has been a pilgrim and a seeker of truth. He is married to the love of his life. All the while he has chronicled his thoughts and revelations in words: plays, poetry, novels, stories and essays. Fosdick & Muldoon (The Continuing Story) was staged at Miller's Uptown Arena in Modesto, California, in 1974. D'Arc Underground: A Jazz Play in Sixteen Choruses was produced as a radio play in an old schoolhouse in the countryside of Nashville, Tennessee, in 1994.
