Paul Smith

    23 juli 1957

    Oorspronkelijk uit Engeland, migreerde Paul in de jaren zeventig naar Duitsland en werd consultant voor tal van grote Duitse bedrijven. Deze transatlantische reis heeft zijn literaire stem diepgaand gevormd en een unieke taalkundige mix gecreëerd waarin Engels en Duits actief converseren. Zijn schrijven verkent de fascinerende ruimte waar culturen en talen elkaar kruisen, en onderzoekt de nuances van identiteit en expressie die voortkomen uit dergelijke ontmoetingen. Lezers kunnen verhalen verwachten die rijk zijn aan de textuur van biculturele ervaring en taalkundige innovatie.
