Evan Dara

Who is Evan Dara?

The dude's books are unbelievable

>>8142403
I've read both them books and have started Fleeeeeee

I just finished the scene from The Lost Scrapbook where the narrator comes across the shit chef. The part where he was gleeful about winning the photography contest and the narrator's disgust with him just fucked my shit up.

Did anyone notice that the narrator seemed to be kind of a lonely guy himself? Went home every night to a "Coors or six", spent his days off driving around and eventually sleeping in his car (and then mentioned the "great guys" at work). Is this just a variation on the theme of alienation and lack of community or do you think it means something more?

An American author living in Paris.


If what you say is true OP, what's he like personality-wise?

I thought Flee was a step down, but Lost Scrapbook and Easy Chain are unfuckwithable.

Don't know him personally, just have deduced it through a decent bit of sleuthing.

Is his real name Evan Dara?

How are Easy Chain and Flee? I've been looking for books that are able to blend what is "literary" with what is digital; is there any incorporation of the internet into the two?

>>8142949
Then you should have no qualms spilling the beans. Make it a /lit/ exclusive.

>>8143099
in Easy Chain there is little incorporation outside emails, just started flee

>>8143099

No, it's a pseudonym...

Some part of me feels weird about spilling it. The guy definitely likes being unknown.

>>8143979
You should tell, I've been curious for years.

>>8143979

Well, I personally don't mind if you don't tell. But what was your "sleuthing" like? What did it involve? Always been curious of how to find people via the internet.

pic unrelated but I wanted to throw it in anyway.

Would we recognize his real name? If not, then it doesn't really matter.

>>8144758
I've heard he's a random guy, but I have no clue

His writing is as innovative and effortless as it is moving and profound. Such great stuff.

I agree. If he isn't a name we'd recognize, there is absolutely no reason to out him. If he is a bigger name, or already published via real name, I think it'd be nice to share a bit more of your process.
