BIOGRAPHY
critic, journalist, novelist, bon-vivant, anarchist, revolutionary, ***. I've sold vintage clothes, taught English in high schools, wrote desperate poetry in a wine drenched haze, had my heart broken and repaired, hiked along majestic ridges, skated on the edge of sanity and foolishly cracked open the bitter sweet fruit of life.
