David Greenberger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Greenberger is an American writer and radio commentator best known for his Duplex Planet series of zines, comic books, CDs, and radio plays.
In 1979, having just completed a degree in fine arts as a painter, Greenberger took a job as activities director at a nursing home in Boston. On the day that he first met the residents of the nursing home, he abandoned painting. That is to say, he discarded the brushes and canvas, not the underlying desire to see something in the world around him and then communicate it to others. In this unexpected setting, Greenberger found his medium and wanted others to know those people as he did.
Greenberger started The Duplex Planet as a small, homemade magazine in 1979, and still publishes it today. It has subsequently found larger audiences in other forms, which are all derived from the original template. A series of personal commentaries drawn from Greenberger's experiences with this body of work has aired regularly on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."
