- Street an Autobiographical Novel
- One of the most intimate books ever written about a young man’s coming of age, The Street, an autobiographical novel, chronicles Aram Saroyan’s coming of age in New York City during the turbulent 1960s, when Saroyan was writing one-word poems (lighght) and taking part in his generation’s rites of passage.
- GENESIS ANGELS: The Saga of Lew Welch and the Beat Generation
- While vividly evoking Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady and William Burroughs, this celebrated Beat Generation biography focuses on Lew Welch, the poet who lived the American Dream as an advertising man (shades of Mad Men) before dropping out.

- This is one of the strangest true-crime stories ever written: a story of murder, reported rape, abduction and multiple personalities.
