Here he takes listeners to 2003 San Francisco as the country divides into groups for and against the Iraq War. Damascus, a dive bar in the Mission District, becomes the unlikely setting for a showdown between the opposing sides. Tensions come to a boil when the bar's proprietor agrees to host a show by an ambitious artist with a flair for the dramatic.

Editorial Reviews

Damascus succeeds in conveying a big-hearted vision.”  Wall Street Journal
“At once gripping, lucid and fierce, Damascus is the mature effort of an artist devoted to personal growth and as such contains the glints of real gold.”  San Francisco Chronicle
“Rife with themes of humanity, passion, and determined resilience…This accomplished effort demonstrates Mohr’s rich, resonant prose, authentically rendered settings, and deft characterization.”   Publishers Weekly
