David L. Meth

I am a novelist and award-winning playwright who writes about people caught between cultures. My plays have been produced nationally and internationally. My play, 9/12, about the loss of civil liberties after 9/11 was part of Culture Project's (NYC) first Impact Festival and won the 2008 Peace Writing International Award. During the intermission and after the play, people came up to me to ask if what they saw could happen: It could and it has. In 2009, I received and Artistic Fellowship from the State of Connecticut for my play, TO THE DEATH OF MY OWN FAMILY, which has had startling reactions here and abroad. My play, ARTY'S POOLROOM (formerly THE BROKEN DOWN VALISE), was an O'Neill finalist. My novel, A HINT OF LIGHT, about a half-black, half-Korean boy abandoned to the streets of Seoul, was published in 2010 to 5-star reviews on Amazon and published to 5-star reviews in Korea. My next novel, WHEN SHADOWS SCREAM, is with editors right now, and I am in the middle of my third novel. I am also working on another play called, FACES, to challenge the ethics of killing abroad, as America polices the world with our military and our morality.
