Writing Experience
Writing Interests

A constructive, somewhat like-minded interlocutor: the goal is to help each other improve, providing honest feedback, while relying upon a sufficiently established mutual appreciation.

I write short stories that could be qualified as literary, experimental, quirky, humorous, dark, sometimes sexually explicit.

I don't feel qualified to critique how a piece fits into a specific genre: I do read across genres, but don't know any specific "scene" enough to comment. I'm happy to provide a general (literary) critique on any genre, though.

Never knew how to answer this question, same as favorite food or sexual position... Author names that come to mind right now are Salinger, Bukowski, Coetzee, Auster, EM Forster, Brian Conn, Somerset Maugham, Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya, Kamel Daoud, I'm not sure this list means anything, lots of classics, lots of history and philosophy

I also write in French (poetry and novels) and have worked as a literary translator from English to French (30+ novels translated).
