D’urban Moffer is much more than a writer, though he is that as well. His book, American Kashayas is available from Expat Press. I’ve not read it personally, but he describes it as thick, 500 pages.

I know D’urban has another “real” name and that he lives with his partner in Ohio. When I saw him perform in Chicago, and I use the word perform instead of read on purpose, he wore an elaborate mask and costume. He was thrilling to watch. A real carnival barker in a time of mousy blahness.

D’urban and I were supposed to eat a steak together in Chicago. We wanted to do it right: spend at least 100 bucks and suck down some good wine with America’s prized beef. But due to a missed flight, that never happened. I see this sprawling conversation os a sort of conciliation prize for the steak we never ate.
