About the Author

Nazal helped him during the writing of the first book he published “Antarctica Starts Here”, which is a collection of seven stories. Some of Benjamin’s other influences include W. G. Sebald, Pascal Quingard, William Burroughs, Eliot Weinberger, and Roberto Bolano. Benjamin had been fascinated with physics when he started writing the novel, but got even more fascinated with it. He loves the way that physics will deal with fundamental questions and asks itself certain questions, and provides concrete answers most of the time, just not all the time.
