Paul Hawkins is - according to the numbers - a full-grown British “adult.” While he participates begrudgingly in the economy as a humourist - the minimum viable job - he prefers to spend his time luxuriously faffing and/or travelling the world in search of an elusive and undeserved retirement. To this end, his life-long pilgrimage to avoid a “proper” job has deposited him in the Holy Mecca of Delayed Responsibility-Seekers: Berlin. He continues to write and draw things (mostly reluctantly as deadlines loom), just as the boringly villainous institutions of adulthood continue to hound him… except now in the far more terrifying German language.

Raluca Feher
„Raluca Feher e o rockerita a scrisului, din cel putin doua motive. Unu: lucreaza in publicitate, unde cuvintele scapara si pocnesc din calcaie. Doi: in literatura conventionala (si prost) denumita «de calatorie», blues-ul nu invita la infierbintirea sangelui, ci la picoteala. Pe rastelul din care ea iti ia armamentul scrie, cu litere electrice, «Rock’n roll over, Beethoven». Daca i-ati citit pataniile din Argentina, Uruguay si Chile, stiti la ce sa va asteptati: ritm de TGV, fraze trepidante si un cocktail afectiv cu o reteta usor de transcris si greu de nimerit: ironie, insolenta, bravada, nitica exasperare si credinta ca poti lua la bord orice pasager fara riscul de a-l pierde de client“ - Radu Paraschivescu
