    2 juillet 1938

    Poussé par un désir d'existence plus extraordinaire, David s'est tourné vers la fiction pour compenser une vie qu'il estimait manquer d'aventures. Son écriture, qui englobe des romans pour jeunes adultes et de la poésie, explore les complexités de la psyché humaine, abordant avec franchise des thèmes tels que la dépression. À travers des récits tour à tour touchants, drôles et troublants, il offre aux lecteurs des histoires captivantes qui cherchent à éclairer de profondes expériences humaines.
