Alive and Well on the Road to Self-Destruction
and Other Paths of Righteous Indulgence
Alive and Well on the Road to Self-Destruction and Other Paths of Righteous Indulgence was my senior thesis, submitted to Brandeis University in April, 1987. The stories in the collection were written during my four years at the university, 1983-1987, and have been reproduced here in 2006 with only slight alterations.
Many of these stories are products of their time—a time before such things as the Internet, cell phones or DVD’s—and many more show signs of a youthful hubris that has changed only slightly with age.
A first printing of 30 copies of this collection was created by Ink, Inc. Publications, Brooklyn, New York © April 1987 by Ink, Inc. Publications & Howard Kaplan. This electronic edition copyright © June 2006 Howard N Kaplan.
