Kinbote is a pen name for the author of this site and the essays. It is also a character in the novel Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov. It really doesn't matter what my real name is. It's sort of beside the point. For the record my name is Dan. I do have an art background, have a degree in Art from Goldsmiths College (which might explain my interest in nonsense), did a year of Narrative Theory at Royal Holloway, but left to launch a literary magazine (and the MA was rather hard). I have written for newspapers and magazines including The LA Times, FT, Another Magazine and The Beano. I was founding editor of Zembla magazine and recently edited the book How I Write - The Secret Lives of Authors (Rizzoli). |
