Michael Hanquiniouax (Han-Kwin-Oh) is a writer originally from Yorkshire whose books focus on the transgressive and existential. He is working-class scum with ideas above his station with an unnecessary fascination with the pointless nightmare of human existence. Why not take a look. You're welcome.

This platform is my only method for finding potential readers of my work (I cannot be arsed doing more than the bare minimum... it's part of my charm) so it would be much appreciated if you read OTRERA and wrote a review (even a bad one).

'Perhaps the greatest novelist of all time.' - Hemingway.
'His work puts me to shame.' - Proust.
'Not only a great writer but also has a fantastic arse.' - Virginia Woolf.
