Fiction & Essays
Street art from the coast of Kenya.
I am currently completing work on my first novel, Bird in Blue, an early version of which was featured in New York Magazine in 2007. My short fiction has appeared in The Nassau Literary Review and elsewhere, and I have published essays in Blunderbuss, Hippocampus, HowlRound, Brittle Paper, Africa is a Country and The Los Angeles Review of Books.
Images below (and on the main page) are taken from the Bestiarium of the 19th-century Austrian artist Aloys Zötl. From left to right: “Der Gepard” (1886), “Das Kamel” (1846) and “Der Elch” (1886). All three images are taken from prints made of Zötl’s original watercolors.
