Richard Tashjian

No Man and Everyman Richard Tashjian

"We are Hemingway heretics" begins this first prose work of the author. No Man and Everyman follows the trials of its reluctant hero, James Grealey, and is a study in how the fates of many are summarized in the welfare of a few. Specters is a mystical tale of apocalyptic aspect that proposes a dialogue with famous departed greats. Peers of Poland is an invention of comical political foul play of remote but accessible life behind the liberated Iron Curtain. With a gift for places and atmosphere, a ready wit, and a grand method, the three titles have the character of a classic and reflect the life and observations of the author in a way that only fiction and literature can. 2001-2005.
