Sex, Torture, and Montaigne

Posted on July 16, 2013February 10, 2014 by Michael Kahn
As I skim through my various posts this year, I’ve noticed a pattern: a fascination with literary evidence that confirms the prophecy of Ecclesiastes: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” Or, stated differently, all those literary devices you think are so cool and au couranthave…

A Review and Interview in Kings River Life Magazine

Posted on July 2, 2013October 23, 2013 by Michael Kahn
I had a delightful “sit down” interview via the Internet with Cynthia Chow for Kings River Life Magazine. Cynthia asked fun and interesting questions about reading, writing and the law. Here is a link to that interview. The magazine was also kind enough to give my new novel, The Flinch Factor, a thumbs-up review. That review appears directly…

Two More Wise Men on Immortality

Posted on June 19, 2013October 23, 2013 by Michael Kahn
Following up on my last post on immortality, I wanted to share some deep thoughts on the topic from two wise men–one dead for nearly two millennia, the other still hanging in there. First, Marcus Aurelius, who died in the year 180 A.D. He wrote in his Meditations: “He who has a vehement desire for…

Woody Allen, the Bard, and Immortality

Posted on June 16, 2013June 19, 2013 by Michael Kahn
Woody Allen was once asked whether he hoped to achieve immortality through his movies or his writings. After a moment’s reflection, he answered, “I hope to achieve immortality by not dying.” I thought of those words as my wife Margi and I took our lawn seats under the stars in Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park…

“If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On”

Posted on June 1, 2013October 23, 2013 by Michael Kahn
Under a beautiful night sky in the Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park, Margi and I enjoyed one of those perfect St. Louis evenings: a full moon overhead, warm breezes, chilled wine, delicious picnic dinner, and a brilliant and hilarious production of Twelfth Night by the Shakespeare Festival St. Louis. Everything about the production—the cast, the set…

Mysteries and the Unreliable Narrator

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Michael Kahn
As a trial lawyer by day and an author by night, I don’t find the “unreliable narrator” an abstract concept. Indeed, I have been mulling over the subject for awhile. I have already posted some musings on this website, but I realized that the topic is particularly relevant to those of us who write or read mystery novels….

The Rashomon Effect and the Unreliable Narrator

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Michael Kahn
In my recent musings on unreliable narrators in literature and the law, I kept coming across the term “the Rashomon Effect.” Indeed, Google that term and you will get links to fascinating essays in a variety of fields ranging from psychology to anthropology to sociology to historical interpretations to the law. Stated simply, the “Rashomon effect” is…
