Autorenporträt
Marek Friedl has spent much of a dozen years near the Southwest borderland and found the high desert to be both awesome and perilous. He worked for a charity visiting households that were in need and became acquainted with the problems of immigration, water, and development. He has engaged in a succession of pursuits: preservation, gardening, bookbinding, woodworking, and now writing. His interests include cultural history, environmentalism, and theology.
