00:29Is it Memoir or Fiction? David Hallman - Author
by WriteSpa Oasis for Writers in Writing
Tags: David G Hallman August Farewell memoir writing through the year Searching for Gilead
What are some of the vital differences between memoir and fiction? On Thursday, May 2 at 6 PM EST I’ll be talking with author David G Hallman about “Writing What We Know and/or Writing What We Imagine.”
David is the author of the intensely moving and beautifully-written memoir August Farewell. He’s also the author of a novel, Searching for Gilead.
He grew up in Waterloo, ON, studied community psychology, and was on the national staff of The United Church of Canada, carrying a wide range of social justice responsibilities. Environmental ethics was a major focus of his career and he was the Co-ordinator of the World Council of Churches Climate Change Programme based in Geneva which involved him in UN global negotiations on climate change.
In addition to his books, he’s the author and editor of many articles and books on ecological themes including A Place in Creation — Ecological Models in Science, Religion and Economics, Ecotheology – Voices from South and North, Spiritual Values for Earth Community, and a major study paper on Climate Change and Poverty — Science, Theology, and Ethics for the National Religious Partnership on the Environment.

Drunken Angel Memoir with Alan Kaufman
by RAINBOW VISION in Books
Tags: Alan Kaufman Drunken Angel Alcoholism Gaza Holocaust
As former Israeli combat veteran, Alan Kaufman describes in his new book, Drunken Angel, a harrowing trajectory of downfall and recovery that takes readers from the street gangs of the Bronx to the intellectual centers of Manhattan; from the battlefields of Gaza and the West Bank, to the punk rock nights of the East Village, the poetry stages of Europe and San Francisco, where he was a force in the nascent spoken word poetry movement.
Kaufman, who has been compared to Jack Kerouac, called an ‘Outlaw Poet” and whose books and activism have earned acclaim from David Mamet, Hubert Selby Jr., Dave Eggers, The New York Times and The San Francisco Chronicle, takes his trademark mix of raw truth and gorgeous writing to new levels as he portrays his harrowing struggle to become a writer while dying of alcoholism. In Drunken Angel he shows how he succeeds to recover from his disease, overcome PTSD, and become one of the most powerful writers in America today.
