About Me

melancholy hussar, failed novelist. I now work in TV, and run the avant-Slav literary magazine Holzweg with the illustrator and dancing bear Richard Short.

Despite the similarities of name, I am no relation to the 1920s Belgian entrepreneur Aris Roussinos, who made a fortune in the Congo selling the oppressed natives Um-Bongo at inflated prices.
