Feel like someone’s watching? You’re probably right. Your anonymity is an illusion. The trend toward constant surveillance is disturbing. Supporters often argue, “If you're obeying the law, you have nothing to fear.” But is that really true? While many refuse to acknowledge the possibility of an worldwide Orwellian nightmare, others know that creeping totalitarianism thrives best when it moves quietly in the shadows. In the 1970’s, the idea of a national identification card was floated, which led to great protest. We no longer need a national identity card: it already exists. It’s your phone. In his prophetic The Naked Citizen, Philip Dossick points an ominous warning finger at how our civil rights are at risk and need to be protected against the abuses of illicit surveillance.
Mark Twain In Seattle, a daring and utterly charming novella, describes something incredible that takes place between a University of Washington undergraduate, and a sick old man. Late one evening, Taz, a student, helps a homeless man who has fallen in the street to his feet. When asked, the man gives his name as Samuel Clemens: the Samuel Clemens, or Mark Twain. Philip Dossick weaves a fantastical story, yet behind its magical realism lies a mountain of wit that takes flight and stays aloft until its inevitable end. This one’s for the ages.

“TRANSPLANT is not just a book about heart disease (any more than First, You Cry is just a book about breast cancer). It’s about people – and they get to you. It’s a touching, sweet, tough book – and it rings true.” -BETTY ROLLIN “I got utterly hooked – it’s Edith and Archie Bunker catapulted to greatness by an existential crisis they could never have dreamed of. A testament to the miracle of people growing, almost in spite of themselves. Very gripping and moving.” – EDA LeSHAN “TRANSPLANT is a very moving account of how a family responded to the terrible stresses of severe heart disease. If the Hurleys are the ordinary people they would seem to be, there is hope for the human race. Transplant shows that humor, courage, wisdom, and tolerance are alive and well. It’s a fine book.” – WILLIAM A. NOLEN, M.D. Philip Dossick is one of America’s finest writers. - DAVID SUSSKIND
