Ivo Araujo, the founder of Manhattan Samba, who taught me how to drum, became a United States Citizen last week! He said he was the only Brazilian that day. (I love the anti-Trump poster above.)

I've written six non-fiction books, the most recent is Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad, and Criminal in 19th-Century New York.
