Jadelin Gangbo is a writer and acupuncturist based in East London. He was born in Congo-Brazzaville in 1976 and moved to Italy at the age of 4 with his parents and 6 siblings.
Jadelin has published numerous short stories and three novels in Italian, the first one, Verso La Notte Bakonga (1999) at the age of 23. Rometta e GIulieo (2001) follows, then Due Volte, (2007). Rometta e Giulieo had been adapted for the theatre and was performed at the Arena del Sole, Bologna's historic theatre. He had appeared as an actor in a short film, Il Contratto (2002) directed by Guido Chiesa, and taught creative writing in multicultural centres, high schools, and a juvenile detention in Bologna. His work has been studied and written about in Italian literature departments across Europe. After spending one year in Barcelona, in 2006 he moved to the UK. His latest and most personal novel is his first written in English. Taking over 14 years to complete, Jadelin started the novel when he first arrived in the country and could barely speak the language. The project was discontinued many times due to the obvious language barrier, art and musical projects, and a career in acupuncture to pursue. Jadelin eventually persisted on his main project. The result is Ground.
Jadelin currently resides in East Londonview less
