He is the author of Habeas Circus from NewSouth Books, a collection of Gerson’s legal satire paintings. He lives in New Orleans (or what’s left of it after Katrina) with his wife Beth, who is a real lawyer.Gerson, Alan is the author of 'Things We Cannot Know', published 2007 under ISBN 9780978531164 and ISBN 0978531167.
