MARK SIEGEL

Mark has been an English professor, a butler, an economic consultant, a professional writer, and an attorney. He lives in Phoenix, Arizona. In the last four years, he's published over twenty stories and a novel, Echo and Narcissus.

I did a little too well in school--third in my class at Bradbury High--except for Flash Culture. More than once I 'remembered' a scene in vid class only to be told it didn't happen in the movie version of the story. Yeah, I used the 'must have heard about it on public trivision' dodge a lot.

By the time I was eighteen and entitled to buy one book a year, I was already involved with an underground swapping library. It was all done with blind drops, of course, but we'd write each other little messages inside the dust jacket whenever we passed a book along, stuff like, "I read this book aloud to my mistress under a blanket in the park. They thought we were making love." The scribbled quote I remember best is, "The truest test of literature is whether it makes us want to live more intensely." I didn't understand that was the very reason society had to crack down on people like me. I thought only of that moment when these things become real to me, when they're no longer just words but the unspeakable things themselves...
