Finding himself constitutionally befitted to the smithing of words, he has penned more than a baker's dozen books, including Of Darkness and Light, How Do You Like Your Blue-Eyed Boy?, The Wrong Thing and When It All Comes Down to Dust.
These trifles have oft been the undeserving recipients of literary awards; indeed, in 1995 the American Library Association disgraced itself by selecting The Book of Man as one of the best books of the year. That same year, he fled his native land for the U.S.A., and thus far has managed to avoid deportation.
The French have shown themselves to have poor taste equivalent to that of the Celts and the Yanquis, as several of Mr. Graham’s books have been translated for the edification of Francophones.
He has never had an opinion he did not consider to be of utmost importance for the world to know. To this end, his reportage and ruminations have been published in such otherwise estimable organs as Harper's Magazine, Flaunt, Scotland on Sunday, Parabola, The Arizona Republic, Scottish Sunday Mail and The Big Click.
After 12 years in the cactus jungle of Phoenix, AZ, and 5 in the hell realm of Chattanooga, TN, Mr. Graham has been a denizen of Portland, OR since Halloween 2012. He welcomes email from readers: mr.graham@fastmail.comview less
