"Once again, Ben Tanzer has found an uncanny ability to get inside my head." My Father's House gets some Goodreads love. And likes it. A lot.

Word. Some much appreciated Goodreads love for My Father's House. Big thanks that. Now, how about some excerpt? More word.

"At times bordering on self-indulgent, he's somehow able to capture moments in time and distill them to raw emotion. Having lost my father to a car accident (not the same as cancer), I found myself drawn to the themes of relationships, regret, and ultimately freedom that can come from loss."

Ink on the Tracks. California. And Estimated Prophet.

[image error] Quite cool this. The always awesome Anna March invited TBWCYL, Inc. spokesperson Ben Tanzer to submit a track and guest essay to her "Ink on the Tracks" music column at Connotation Press. The theme of this column was California and our contribution is a riff on "Estimated Prophet" by The Grateful Dead, what it meant to us once, and still does, so many years down the road. that I wasn't really into music then. Then being the early nineties. Then being before now and after that other time before this. I wasn't into anything really though. Okay, that isn't entirely true. I was really into abusing substances. Getting laid. And learning how to throw a forehand blade. But music not so much.
