Personal life
editRindsberg is an American[1] who was born in South Africa. In the mid-2000s,[2] he moved to Tel Aviv, Israel; he was still there by 2019, having moved 13 times within the city. As of June 2019[update], he was married to a Londoner.[1]
Career
editIn May 2003, Rindsberg was working with the Internet Archive on their bookmobile project.[3] By that August, he was in Alexandria to help build one for Bibliotheca Alexandrina.[4]
In 2004, Rindsberg took a two-month job as a deckhand, shepherding a boat from Sardinia to Greece.[1]
Writing
editAfter moving to Tel Aviv, he met the city's "beggars, madmen and musicians", and incorporated them as characters in his first book, Tel Aviv Stories[1] (published 1 February 2011, ISBN 978-0615422435).[5] A collection of six short stories and novellas, it was well-reviewed by The Jerusalem Post[2] and Kirkus Reviews.[5]
In 2019, he was described by The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles as a novelist, working on In The Heart of the Jungle, which drew inspiration from his own homes and travels around the world.[1]
While reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Rindsberg learned of The New York Times' misreporting that the Second Polish Republic had invaded Nazi Germany, rather than the Nazi Invasion of Poland as happened. He was inspired to write on the history of The Times' mistakes and the ramifications thereof; circa 2021, he published The Gray Lady Winked: How The New York Times's Misreporting, Distortions & Fabrications Radically Alter History.[6]
