I was born in Paris, in 1963, right in the middle of a western movie, of which my parents never saw the end. I have thereafter split my life between France and the USA, having spent most of my early childhood in Syracuse, and Seattle. After some studies, a lot of wandering and a few strange jobs, I have finally found myself teaching French literature in Denmark, where I have been living since 2007.

"DANGEROUS MINDS" INTERVIEW

"Imagine Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K Dick filtered through Burroughs and Brautigan, Ballard and Kerouac. Or put it this way: Sébastien Doubinsky is among the most important authors writing today, arguably in some realities the most important writer working today."

Missing Signal by Seb Doubinsky
"I loved this book. It’s the story of a man’s erotic life told inside a real exploration of UFO’s and mystery. Lyrical and the best of page turning suspense, I recommend it to all who love beautiful writing and want a good story and character study"
Seb made a comment on Wendy Lu’s review of The Invisible
The Invisible by Seb Doubinsky
" Thank you very much! "
The Invisible by Seb Doubinsky
"Normally noir isn't really my cup of tea, but maybe that's something I should revisit because I had so much fun with The Invisible. Loved the politicking, the art and poetry, the honest affection and ideological clashes in the POV character's second " Read more of this review »

The Song of Synth by Seb Doubinsky
"Had fun reading this action-packed cyberpunky, hallucinatory sci-fi. Some suspension of disbelief needed for the nature of the drug consumed by the protagonist. "

Tremendous book. Absolutely loved it. A very Paul Bowlesian book, if Bowles had shown some Graham Greene humanity (Not a criticism of Bowles, who I love, but an idea of Skolkin-Smith's acute and sometimes cruelly truthful style). I highly recommend i ...more

“First she would smoke a pipe, then she would Google “Amazons.” Maybe inspiration would come from a good old Wikipedia article. Who knew? The Muse did move in mysterious ways”
Seb Doubinsky, The Sum of All Things

“All hen are created equal but some have more feather than others.”
Viken Berberian

“Nature. He disliked its prickly stems, its bramble and bush, the obstinate precision of its cycles, its preconfigured calendar, the coded tapestry of its hills, standing stubbornly in the way of human progress.”
Viken Berberian, Das Kapital: A novel of love and money markets

“Rumors. They are there to be denied, or if the market is open, to be traded on.”
Viken Berberian, Das Kapital: A novel of love and money markets

“Clocks will go as they are set, but man, irregular man, is never constant, never certain.”
Thomas Otway
