"When it comes to deer, wildness is the greatest truth. And tameness is a tender, innocent lie." So writes Richard Nelson, award-winning author of The Island Within, in this far-ranging and deeply personal look at our complex relationship with this most beautiful, but amazingly elusive, creature.Heart and Blood: Living with Deer in America begins with the author tracking a deer on a remote island off the Alaskan coast. From there he takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey, visiting such disparate territories of the deer as a hunting ranch in Texas; a state park in California; a Wisconsin forest on opening day of the hunting season; Fire Island, New York; and the suburbs of Denver--where the deer have become so numerous that they pose hazards to landscape, motorist, and pedestrian alike.Nelson examines the physiology of the deer, explaining how its unique digestive system and grazing habits have enabled it to thrive in the varied environments of the United States, whether wild, suburban, or urban. He investigates the different methods of controlling the deer's skyrocketing numbers, from the more "humane methods of relocation and sterilization, to hunting--in all its forms. Nelson also explores the role of the deer in traditional Native American life, takes us with him on a hunt, and awes us as he witnesses the birth of a fawn--an event rarely seen by humans.By the end of this journey we understand the deep reverence in which the author holds this magnificent animal. For to know the deer is to glimpse the hidden heart of wildness itself. In Heart and Blood, Richard Nelson has produced a book of outstanding insight and intelligence that brings us closer to our natural world and, in the process, closer to our own true nature

In many ways, Conner seems like an ordinary boy growing up in the 1960's. But since the age of four, he and his brother have been abducted by aliens multiple times. Conner's gift of seeing beings from the spirit world sometimes gives him access to protection and comfort, but at other times, his ability adds to the horror of being hunted by extraterrestrials. As he matures, Conner must learn which alien races he can trust, what they want with our planet, and how their agendas tie in with Biblical prophecy. While dealing with frequent moves and trouble at home, Conner will try to survive unrelenting attention from an alien race who has decided his genome may hold the key to saving their people. This story creates a thrilling fictional narrative out of copious research on alien abduction conducted by the authors, including numerous firsthand accounts never made available to a general audience. "Too intense for kids, this fascinating story blends spirituality and alien encounters in a way I have never seen before." -Brandon Mull, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fablehaven and Five Kingdoms

"The R S C and the Moscow Art Theatre have given us one of the most delightful collaborations of two minds, if not since Beaumont and Fletcher, then since Brenton and Hare were hard at the likes of BRASSNECK and PRAVDA.... A two-hour glasnost extravaganza... Extremely funny."Time Out (London) "MISHA'S PARTY is set in Moscow during the 1991 coup. The play, though isn't political; it simply shows a family of Russians gathering in a hotel restaurant to celebrate the 60th birthday of a man with an untidy past... The spirit of Chekhov is very much alive in the regrets, sadnesses and farcical nature of this interesting new play."The Daily Telegraph "Top notch."Sunday Express "A richly Chekhovian piece about exile and homecoming, and about regrouping of a dysfunctional family in a tottering regime."International Herald Tribune "In his deft, unostentatious way Nelson was written a robust, healing comedy whose subjects include the pull of the past, the power of unreason and the problems of adjusting to an alien culture."The London Times "A forceful...comedy of manners."Evening Standard "Touching and novel, the play brims with the milk of human folly and a sense of the primacy of private feeling over public events. This is a play for thought as well as amusement."New York Post "MISHA'S PARTY is a cause for celebration."Plays and Players

"The First Great Original Play of Quarantine." -- New Yorker These three plays were written and performed over the memorable summer of 2020. Forced into isolation as the pandemic raged and protests against racism spread after the murder of George Floyd, the Apple Family of Rhinebeck, New York, gather over Zoom to share meals and weather the storms. Together, virtually, they swap jokes, stories and their adventures with grocery shopping and dating; they reveal their depression and fears, they mourn lost friends and even watch a dance performance, as the world outside sputters out of control, amidst anger, illness, and a coming election. With an introduction and afterword by the author.

"Renaissance con man...history as paradox and discovery as an act of self-definition... An ironic epic: a wry, intelligent and fascinating account of the way the New World was opened by a routeless chancer form the Old." Michael Billington, The Guardian "Nelson offers a vision of the discoverer as demagogue--a deceptive and self-deluded dreamer quick to invoke 'truth and history' without realizing he has distorted them both... It is a strong statement with clear political overtones, not least in Columbus' bleak assessment that 'the new century will be no less ugly that the one we're leaving.'" Matt Wolf, Hollywood Reporter "A wry, savage Columbus...the best new play to have been seen at the Barbican main stage since it was opened a decade ago... Nelson's Columbus is neither the hero of the old history books nor the colonialist villain.... Instead, he's a shambling, ineffectual, low-key opportunist who takes on a voyage to he knows not where, largely because it will allow him to be called Admiral of the Ocean Sea and might guarantee a slight shift in his financial and social position back home in Seville. Accordingly, he sets sail with a motley crew of disenchanted fishermen and Jewish evacuees forced out of Spain and therefore in need of a daft project wherein to hide some of the cash they are trying to smuggle into North Africa. Even so, says Nelson, was the New World discovered, and even then only just." Sheridan Morley, The Spectator

"Set in country villas outside of Rome in the months before Caesar's assassination, Conversations in Tusculum imagines the frustrations of fiery senators and warriors reduced to brooding in self-imposed isolation about the endangered civil freedoms of their republic... A portrait of the guilt of being merely intellectual when the world demands something more." Ben Brantley, The New York Times "Mr Nelson has charted how the chaos of the world enters in the first place: slight by slight, betrayal by betrayal, injustice by injustice, conversation by conversation." Eric Grode, The New York Sun "[CONVERSATIONS IN TUSCULUM] feels a little like Chekhov, and means to remind us of the power-hungry men currently in charge in Washington. Nelson's script, basically faithful to history, is written in a 21st-century vernacular that casts these men as Wall Street or Movie moguls on their days off. TUSCULUM is a taste well worth acquiring." Elizabeth Zimmer, Metro

"Nelson's brief play takes place in a tiny Italian village after the Allied victory in World War II. This village is the birthplace of Pinocchio, the puppet who became a real boy--a fact advertised on a huge billboard decorated with the toy boy's famous smiling face. But the billboard is dilapidated and defaced now; and the pretty town we remember from the opening frames of Walt Disney's movie has become a cesspool of corruption and poverty. Geppetto has been knocked off by black marketeers; Jiminy Cricket is squashed by a bored townsperson before our eyes; theft, abortion, and murder are common occurrences. Pinocchio, now an all-too-human grown-up U S O entertainer (like so many one-time movie stars), arrives at his birthplace with pockets full of U S dollars and cigarettes and dreams about America, where anyone can become a millionaire. Once easy prey for wicked foxes and donkey-boys, Pinocchio is still a gullible naïf, and he is soon easily victimized by various villagers. But underneath his easygoing exterior, he's also a dark and frightening figure capable, it is implied, of cruel violence. The script's peak is a long monologue in which Pinocchio tells a village girl about the American dream: becoming a millionaire. All you need is to be ruthless, dishonest, and hardworking. Pinocchio's lecture includes tips on working the night shift (so you can sleep when no one's looking), loan-sharking, cutthroat business practices, secret takeovers, and insurance fraud. This information is delivered with good-natured casualness as Pinocchio sweeps a barroom floor to pay off his debt--except, we notice, he doesn't really do any work, but spends all his time spinning his vision of success American-style...a study in ironic contrast between the surface brightness of Pinocchio's image and the underlying darkness of his reality." Albert Williams, Chicago Reader
