Welcome to My American ’80s, a series of linked essays with collages that tell stories of innocence lost while navigating early adulthood after repatriating to the U.S. during the age of Reaganomics, early Madonna, RUN-DMC, AIDS, and “We Are the World.” New essays will be posted sporadically without regard to their chronology. The first essay posted, “Birthday,” is the final story in the collection and takes place in late 1989. When the essays go live, you can receive them via email if you are a subscriber (signup in the footer) or find the links above on this page or under the category “My American ’80s.”
