Genres Synch

Genres Synch: Personae, Humor, Poetry, Art, Fiction, Memoirs, Interpretation,
Exposition is the fourth full-fledged "multi-genres mix" of "Edward/Ed/Eddie/etc." Both his
genres and his personae are not "mixed-up." In fact, they are well-integrated, although some
consider this a matter of opinion. In addition to the four "mixes" ("Mlanges")see the list
following the "Preface"his most recent book was a writers-group anthology, The View from
Kings Point. This book, actually, is thus his fifth. Hence the title Genres Synch, a play on both
the Latin/French/Spanish "quinque"/"cinq"/"cinco" (five) and "being in synchronization/sync,"
among other things.
The author explores the meaning of his proliferating personae in his books, including
this one. They now number about 25; he plans to round them out (or rather "even them out") at
36 in the future.
The writings in Genres Synch range from good-natured humor to satire to avant-garde
poetry to fictional stories to diverse memoirs to Hebraic and Classical culture to scholarly
exposition.
The book features truly outstanding guest contributionsof the author's wife Reva
(Spiro Luxenberg), sons Judah and Benjamin, daughter Aliza, brother Rob, and writing-group
friends Joe Bruno and David Jones.
