creative writing ranges from a philosophical fantasy
about mystical cats to a gritty reality drama of urban angst
to a historical novel and a historical play based on the
authors he has written about. As for his non-fiction, David
is a fan first. He greatly admires the people he writes
about and wants to have others learn about these authors
so they can share his enthusiasm. David has published books

American writer, Richard Stern. He has also written about

Early
praise for David Garrett Izzo’s novel A Change
of Heart
Whether you are an adept of Aldous Huxley, W. H. Auden,
Christopher Isherwood, or any of the artistic figures
of the 1930s, you will be enlightened and entertained
by David Garrett Izzo's remarkable A Change of Heart.
His recreations are so astonishingly alive and accurate
that you feel you are there at the creation, a sudden
intimate of a brilliant and select group of artists
and writers. Auden and Spender and others parry and
debate, live and breathe again; the past recaptured!

Izzo knows the period so deeply and has such powers of synthesis
that even someone like myself who has been reading Auden
for forty years will find fresh facts and will see material
already known anew. Stunning, dense, just, and, in the largest
and best sense, true."
