FAQs

Why the á?

To create some distance between my everyday self and creative self. To falsely identify myself as unique in a tradition of one. Also, because it looks more exotic/memorable and those things matter in publishing.

Who are your favorite writers?

In no particular order: Mann, Faulkner, Hunter S Thompson, Thomas Middleton, etc.

What other pursuits do you have?

I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, publish music under the name Somebody Has a Question?, and formerly hosted a podcast titled Breakfast is Hell.
