PAGE!Hi there! This is the home page of Phil, Jeanne, Michael and Olivia Geraci, along with our dog, Blue Dog. We hope you enjoy visiting us and visiting our favorite links, and we would love for you to come back and see us from time to time. We hope to improve and update this page whenever we can.

We named our dog Blue Dog, after the art of Louisiana artist Rodrique.
And this is our Blue Dog! Isn't she beautiful?
This is
the cover painting for one of our favorite books, "The Gold Bug
Variations," by
American novelist Richard Powers. The painting is by Honi Werner.
Powers is also the author of "Three Farmers On
Their Way To A Dance," "Prisoner's
Dilemma," "Operation Wandering Soul," "Galatea 2.2," "Gain," "Plowing The Dark,""The Time of Our Singing," and "The Echo Maker," which won The National Book Award for Fiction in 2006. Each one is a treasure that will repay the investment of time and attention many times over.
Click here if you would
like to hear Powers read a brief excerpt from "Gain."
(You will need RealPlayer to hear the reading).
Click here if you would like to read an engrossing interview with Powers.
Powers is a MacArthur Fellow and probably the least well known great writer working in the U.S. For a fascinating interview with the normally press-shy Powers, check out this article in Salon, the best publication on (and one of the best off) the web.
There is a comprehensive and fascinating Powers Bibliography available on line.
"Three Farmers" was inspired by the photography of August Sander. Here's an example of Sander's work:
You can find (and should buy) Powers' books on the Internet:
