Seeking Revenge: An Obsession: Its Implications and Consequences in Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s “Der Besuch der alten Dame.” This 32-page essay will be published in the forthcoming issue of Andererseits.
Currently I am working on a book, concerning revenge and forgiveness. As both are responses to injury, the two Borchert interpretations address that issue. They constitute the project’s first section, to be followed by the chapter on revenge. The multifaceted nature of forgiveness will conclude the study.
Community Service:
On February 10, 2024, I participated in a panel at the Tin Shop Theater, Buchanan, MI. Reflections upon the writings of MLK served as the focal point.
