This Time, There's No Holding Back
Ken's first collection, A View from the Back of the Candy Store, was published in 2020. Ken's latest collection of stories is a bit more salacious and a deeper dive into his past. Sit back and enjoy as Ken shares everything from his most intimate and embarrassing moments to his personal and professional triumphs.
Let Ken take you from his childhood in the 1940s, soaking up life in his father's candy store. Get to know Ken's first-generation immigrant family, who instilled in him a lifelong sense of humor and a passion for life. You'll then have a ringside seat as Ken explores tawdry sex in the '60s and '70s before navigating the AIDS crisis in the '80s, and life beyond. Travel with him as you meet the fascinating cast of characters who have passed through his life of spiritual growth and exploration, from Brooklyn to Hollywood, from Europe to Mexico, landing eventually in Palm Springs. You will laugh and delight in experiencing a life lived to the fullest.
Ken now lives in Palm Springs, California, along with his dog, Max, where he continues to write, laugh, and marvel at life's absurdities.
