About the author

I'm an American living in Europe. I lived in Paris for two years where I studied language and art history, before going to Berkeley to study anthropology and later Simon Fraser University in Canada to study archaeology, focusing on the prehistory of Polynesia. In 1995, I moved to Germany where I began to write essays and literary fiction. Since 2015, I've been living in Prague where I teach writing and film at the Anglo-American University. I’m the author of four books and a screenplay co-written with Polish film director Jarek Marszewski.

Ex wishlist.


Cute book. Written by a Californian about Californians. Edited for folks living the UK. A little outdated in places. A little skewed in others. But still a fun read.
