Ashes Taken for Fire:
Aesthetic Modernism and the Critique of Identity (University of Minnesota Press, 2007), pursues the philosophical question of non-identity in the prose fiction of such writers as Joseph Conrad, Nathanael West and Ralph Ellison among others.

At present, he is finishing work upon a second book project entitled Panegyric Exposures: Black Fragments in Explorative Music, Literature and Film.
