Works include <em>Amos  Fortune Road<\/em> (1996), which takes up the mystery of former  slave Amos Fortune and a collection of historical markers in his name; <em>Situation  Leading to a Story <\/em>(1999), which transforms four happened-upon  home movies from the 1920s into an absorbing investigation of privacy  and imperialism; and <em>A Man of the Crowd<\/em> (2003), which molds Edgar Allen Poe&#8217;s short tale to the contours of  present-day Vienna; among others.
