edit data

I was born in Paris, in 1963, right in the middle of a western movie, of which my parents never saw the end. I have thereafter split my life between France and the USA, having spent most of my early childhood in Syracuse, and Seattle. After some studies, a lot of wandering and a few strange jobs, I have finally found myself teaching French literature in Denmark, where I have been living since 2007.

"DANGEROUS MINDS" INTERVIEW

"Imagine Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K Dick filtered through Burroughs and Brautigan, Ballard and Kerouac. Or put it this way: Sébastien Doubinsky is among the most important authors writing today, arguably in some realities the most important writer working today."

Seb liked Leora Skolkin-Smith's review of Missing Signal: "I loved this book. It’s the story of a man’s erotic life told inside a real exploration of UFO’s and mystery. Lyrical and the best of page turning suspense, I recommend it to all who love beautiful writing and want a good story and character study"
