  <about><![CDATA[A conservative commentator who has served in the Israeli army may not seem the likeliest source of whimsy, but Mark Helprin's tales are written from the soul of a poet. Soldiers and burglars figure prominently in his work, but the stories are not tales of intrigue; they focus more on love, morality and far-flung travels. -  http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>New York City</hometown>  <born_at>06/28/1947</born_at>
