Bio: There's a long tradition of writers willingly exiling themselves to foreign and exotic (in the different senses of the term) places, whether it be for inspiration or by personal inclination...

Ben Paris, of New York City, has spent the past two and a half decades in Salvador, in the seaside neighborhood of Itapoan, where fishermen put out to sea in jangadas (dugout canoes) to fish in ways unchanged for thousands of years, where the drums of candomblé (West African religion) sound into the night and where samba enlivens the public squares on weekends.

Ben eats, sleeps, drinks, swims, fights and writes here, his fiction having appeared in Fiction, Switchback, In Posse Review, and Storyglossia, among others.
