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."

“First she would smoke a pipe, then she would Google “Amazons.” Maybe inspiration would come from a good old Wikipedia article. Who knew? The Muse did move in mysterious ways”

“All hen are created equal but some have more feather than others.”
Viken Berberian

“Nature. He disliked its prickly stems, its bramble and bush, the obstinate precision of its cycles, its preconfigured calendar, the coded tapestry of its hills, standing stubbornly in the way of human progress.”
Viken Berberian, Das Kapital: A novel of love and money markets

“Rumors. They are there to be denied, or if the market is open, to be traded on.”
Viken Berberian, Das Kapital: A novel of love and money markets

“Clocks will go as they are set, but man, irregular man, is never constant, never certain.”
