INTERESTS

Research and reading interests include the short story form, modernist literature, and postcolonial theory and fiction, the last of these because of his interest in the interaction between nations and cultures, as they appear in fictional accounts. He carves out time to write short stories with a dull knife, which is another way of saying that he doesn’t write as often as he’d like.
