Kurt, thanks for sharing de Maupassant’s cheery view on existence. What can one expect, however, from a writer, along with others, who liked nothing better than to dine beneath the much maligned Eiffel Tower in order that he couldn’t see it. For a good belly laugh, I recommend Poe. [that last statement might be facetious, and I apologise to Poe’s spirit, as I think he was a wonderful writer]. Good likeness. You’ve captured the sadness, Kurt.
Yeah, this is my first novel of his, too. The writing is brilliant, of course… but kind of over the top. There’s a link to the book down in the footer if you’re interested.
Kurt is the author of the romance noir novel Rainy Season, the dark thriller novel The Good Kill, the literary fiction novel Inside the Skin, and the poetry collection Short Verses & Other Curses, among other works. He is also the screenwriter/executive producer of the short film Leave, adapted from his short story of the same name, and which premiered at the LA Femme International Film Festival in 2018.

Everyone should have a pencil drawing selfie. Or, perhaps, it only works if you have a fabulously flamboyant mustachio!?

Yeah, the Eiffel Tower wasn’t very well received, was it. Big fan of Poe – need to re-immerse myself in his magic.

De Maupassant! One of my favourite short story writers. I’m torn between him and Saki.

I’m a big fan of his short stories, too. But I’m still mulling over an opinion of the novel of his I just read (his last).

Hi there :) I haven’t read any novels by him. I never looked into anything beyond his short stories. I’ll look forward to hearing what you think of it
