Thine Alabaster Cities Gleam, available in print, and now as a free podcast

By Lawrence Velvel

ADVERTISEMENTS

Dear Colleagues,

As many of you know, I have recently published a Quartet entitled Thine Alabaster Cities Gleam: A Slightly Fictionalized Memoir of a Career in the Last Half of the Twentieth Century. The book is now additionally available for free as an audio podcast. Readers of my blog might be interested in the Quartet, since the blog reflects many of the themes in the book. As well, because the Quartet covers 50 years of American life, it portrays changes in the moral nature of this country. During the fifty years the country went from a nation which values honesty, competence, diligence and modesty to a nation which rewards dishonesty, celebrification, quick fixes and braggadocio.

Episodes of Thine Alabaster Cities Gleam will be crossposted on this blog every Tuesday and Friday thoughout the next 12 months. Should you prefer, you can also subscribe to get free downloads of the audiobook from iTunes, or add the audio feed to your rss reader.
