John Ambrose

John Ambrose served for two decades as a special critic and reporter penning a monthly culture column for a rock music tabloid, covering travel and entertainment issues of interest to the rock community in his native New Jersey. Journalism underlies his approach to writing. A retired physician, he often brings a medical issue or two into the discussion. He doesn't shy away from unconventional, iconoclastic and counter-cultural aspects of society. His focus usually is upon deeper philosophical, sociological and historical facets of pop culture. "San Rocco and the Egg-Drop Soup" is his first entry into narrative story-telling. His writing often includes themes of identity, disillusionment and redemption.
