The Lower Manhattan Dormitory Effect
My book is a recollection of downtown life in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s reflected on from here in LA: 2020. It is In Memoriam for my younger brother, Raoul Kevin, and for the young women and men who died from AIDS, from suicide, from heroin, from sex. It is intended to be irreverent. To be funny (hopefully). To be infused with Buddhist philosophy. To be beautiful. To be an exact depiction of Then from Now.

“George Haas will take you back to a New York that feels both impossibly glamorous and unthinkably tragic, with the precision of a scalpel and the tenderness of Proust. This is a book for anyone who has loved and lost, and for everyone who wants to better understand the ties that bind us to the places we dream of returning to but are no longer there. George is a writer of uncommon grace.”
–Lena Dunham, writer and creator the HBO series Girls
